The chemical composition of the essential oils of Salvia nemorosa L. and Salvia reuterana Boiss. growing wild in Iran were examined by GC and GC–MS. Thirty‐one components were characterized for S. nemorosa with β‐caryophyllene (41.6%), germacrene‐B (21.3%), caryophyllene oxide (6.8%), cis ‐β‐farnesene (6.0%) and germacrene‐D (5.6%) as the major constituents. For S. reuterana 21 components were identified with ( E )‐β‐ocimene (32.3%), α‐gurjunene (14.1%), germacrene‐D (11.2%) and hexyl acetate (7.6%) as the major constituents.
