The oil constituents from rhizomes, leaves and seed of Peucedanum petiolare (DC.) Boiss., gathered in Touchal on mountain Alborz (Tehran province) in Iran, have been studied by GC and GC/MS. The major constituents in the rhizome oil were found to be β ‐bisabolene (31.3%), ( E )‐sesquilavandulol (20.5%), geranyl acetate (5.7%), citronellyl acetate (5.2%) and sabinene (5.2%). In the leaf oil the main components found were sabinene (42.3%), α ‐pinene (42.6%) and limonene (2.6%). In the seed α ‐pinene (47.3%) and sabinene (45.9%) were the predominant constituents.
