The chemical composition of the essential oils of Salvia verticillata , S. verbenaca , S. glutinosa and S. candidissima , growing wild in Greece, were analysed by GC and GC–MS. Twenty‐eight components were characterized for S. verticillata , with β ‐pinene (30.7%), p ‐cymene (23.0%) and isopropyl ester of lauric acid (16.8%) as the dominating constituents; 19 components were identified for S. verbenaca , with β ‐phellandrene (30.3%), ( E )‐caryophyllene (16.1%) and methyl ester of 6‐octadecenoic acid (15.0%) as the major compounds; 23 constituents were determined for S. glutinosa , with butyl butyryl lactate (26.7%) as the most abundant component; and finally 36 constituents were identified for S. candidissima , with α ‐pinene (11.2%) and 1,8‐cineole (9.89%) as the major compounds.
