Water‐distilled essential oils from three samples of Conobea scoparioides collected at different localities of the Amazon Region were analysed by GC – MS. The major components identified in the oils of the specimens collected in the Amapá and Pará states were thymol (52.0%; 17.9%) and methyl thymol (36.0%; 42.4%), respectively. The principal constituents found in the oil of the specimen collected in the Maranhão state were thymol (57.5%) and p ‐cymene (26.7%). Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
