The composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of Achillea falcata L. (Asteraceae) growing wild in Lebanon was analysed by GC and GC–MS; 58 compounds, representing 94.4% of the oil, were identied. Isomers of the cyclobutane ethanol, 1‐methyl‐2‐(1‐methylethenyl), grandisol (21.4%) and fragranol (16.8%) were the main components of the oil. Also abundant were artemisia ketone (5.2%), terpinen‐4‐ol (4.5%) and 1,8‐cineole (4.0%). The essential oil shows inhibitory activity mainly against Gram‐positive bacteria.
