The oil from leaves of Salvia guaranitica Benth. accessions from southern Brazil obtained by hydrodistillation is reported. GC–MS analyses revealed sesquiterpene‐rich oils characterized by high concentrations of germacrene D, β ‐caryophyllene and δ ‐cadinene. Qualitative and quantitative differences were observed among the accessions, enabling them to be assigned to three clusters. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
