In this study, water‐distilled essential oil of three species of Acinos Miller (Lamiaceae) were analysed by GC–MS. Oils from A. suaveolens (Sm.) G. Don fil. were found to contain pulegone (23.2–80.7%) and isomenthone (1.1–54.1%). Oils from A. arvensis (Lam.) Dandy and A. rotundifolius Pers. were found to contain germacrene‐D (14.3% and 14.4–73.1%) hexadecanoic acid (14.0% and 17.5–30.2%). Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
