Abstract The constituents of the essential oil obtained by the hydrodistillation of Nepeta glomerulosa Boiss. subsp. carmanica were investigated by GC and GC–MS analysis. The oil contains over 35 components. The major components were α‐pinene (18.3%), 1,8‐cineole (13.9%), limonene (9.7%), linalool (4.8%), trans ‐β‐ocimene (4.7%), humulene epoxide (4.2%), trans ‐α‐bergamotene (3.5%), α‐humulene (3.2%) and camphene (3.1%). Identification of the compounds was based on retention indices, MS data and comparison with authentic samples. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
