The leaves of Callistemon viminalis , on hydrodistillation, gave 0.45% of an oil on a fresh weight basis. GC and GC–MS analysis of the oil resulted in the identication of 42 constituents, representing 99.5% of the oil. 1,8‐Cineole (61.7%), α ‐pinene (24.2%) and menthyl acetate (5.3%) were the major components.
