Essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from leaves and fruits of Hedyosmum mexicanum Cordemoy, leaves of H. bonplandianum Kunth and leaves of H. costaricensis C.E. Wood from Costa Rica were analyzed by GC‐FID and GC‐MS. GC‐IR and 13 C‐NMR analysis were performed to improve the identification of some compounds. Monoterpene hydrocarbons, especially sabinene, and oxygen‐containing sesquiterpenes, mainly furanodiene, were the major constituents found in the oils of H. mexicanum . Monoterpene hydrocarbons were also the main group of components in the oil of H. bonplandianum , whereas the oil of H. costaricensis was mainly constituted by sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, especially germacrene‐d. 13 C‐NMR analysis of the latter oil allowed us to identify the compound 1β,6α‐dihydroxy‐4(14)‐eudesmene.
