Hydro‐distilled volatile oil from the roots of Plumbago europaea L. was obtained at a yield of 0.2% w/w based on dry weight. The oil was analyzed by a combination of GC and GC‐MS. Fifteen components were identied constituting 95.3% of the oil. The major constituents in the root oil were plumbagin (69.1%), 1‐octen‐3‐yl acetate (9%) and limonene (5.7%).
