The essential oils of Boswellia serrata Roxb. ex Colebr. oleo‐gum‐resin collected from four different locations (samples A–D) were isolated by hydrodistillation and analysed by means of GC and GC–MS. Thirty‐five components were identified, comprising 82%, 91%, 77% and 82% of samples A, B, C and D, respectively. α ‐Thujene was one of the major constituents in all samples, whereas α ‐pinene was recorded in only one sample. All the oils were dominated by monoterpene hydrocarbons. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
