The volatile constituents of Perovskia atriplicifolia Benth. (Lamiaceae), collected in Pakistan, have been characterized by means of GC, GC–MS and 13 C‐NMR spectroscopy. Out of 19 compounds identified in this oil, the monoterpenes, δ 3 ‐carene (22.3%) and 1,8‐cineole (27.5%) amounted to 50% of the total oil. β‐Caryophyllene (10.8%) and α‐humulene (5.7%) were the dominant sesquiterpenes.
