Essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from the leaves and ower spikes of Piper friedrichsthalii from Costa Rica and Panama, and leaves of P. pseudolindenii from Costa Rica were analysed by GC–FID, GC–MS and 13 C‐NMR. Monoterpenoids constituted the main fraction of the oils of P. friedrichsthalii from Costa Rica, particularly α ‐pinene, camphene, β ‐phellandrene, limonene and menthane derivatives, whereas the oils from leaves of P. friedrichsthalii from Panamá and of P. pseudolindenii from Costa Rica were characterized by a high sesquiterpene content, especially 11‐selinen‐4 α ‐ol, α ‐selinene, germacrene D and β ‐selinene in the former, and β ‐elemene, β ‐caryophyllene, germacrene D and α ‐humulene in the latter.
