The essential oil of Hypericum hirsutum was analysed for the first time. Twenty‐seven components were identified. The non‐terpene compounds had the highest contribution (46.6%). A low monoterpenes content (1.3%) characterized the oil. The major constituents were n ‐undecane (32.2%), patchoulene (11.8%) and caryophyllene oxide (9.3%), which are not significantly represented in the essential oils of other species of the genus Hypericum examined.
