The essential oil obtained by steam distillation from the dried leaves of Achillea abrotanoides (Vis.) Vis. was analysed by a combination of capillary gas chromatography (CGC), capillary gas chromatography ‐ mass spectrometry (CGC‐MS) and capillary gas chromatography ‐ Fourier transform/infrared spectroscopy (CGC‐FT/ IR). 1,8‐Cineole and camphor accounted for about 32.7% of the oil which contained about fifty compounds most of them present only in traces; 24 components (92.3% of the oil) were characterized.
