The chemical composition of the essential oils of Salvia verticillata L. and Salvia santolinifolia Boiss. growing wild in Iran were examined by GC and GC–MS. Twenty‐seven components were characterized for S. verticillata with β‐caryophyllene (24.7%), γ‐muurolene (22.8%), limonene (8.9%) and α‐humulene (7.8%) as the major constituents, whereas for S. santolinifolia , 17 components were identified with α‐pinene (59.4%), β‐pinene (12.4%) and limonene (3.8%) as the major constituents.
