The composition of hydrodistilled essential oils of three species of Phlomis (Lamiaceae), P. lanceolata , P. anisodonta and P. bruguieri , were investigated by GC and GC–MS, and 31, 28 and 21 compounds, representing 94.1%, 96.0% and 96.8%, respectively, of the total oils, were identified. In all three samples, sesquiterpenes were the main components. In P. lanceolata oil the main components were germacrene D (47.0%), ( E )‐ β ‐farnesene (10.5%), α ‐pinene (8.7%), germacrene B (8.0%), bicyclogermacrene (5.9%); in P. anisodonta , germacrene D (65.0%) and β ‐caryophyllene (11.0%); and in P. bruguieri , germacrene D (60.5%), γ ‐elemene (16.5%), germacrene B (7.1%) and bicyclogermacrene (4.1%).
