The essential oils of the flowerheads (capitula) of Chrysanthemum coronarium (Compositae), collected in two different locations in Greece, were obtained by hydrodistillation and analysed by GC–MS. Fifty‐six constituents were identified, of which oxygenated monoterpenes made the highest contribution. The major constituents in sample A were trans ‐chrysanthenyl acetate (13.2%), trans ‐chrysanthenyl isovalerate (10.2%) and cis ‐chrysanthenyl acetate (9.9%), while those of sample B were camphor (15.7%), cis ‐chrysanthenyl acetate (9.1%) and trans ‐chrysanthenyl acetate (7.8%).
