The essential oil isolated by hydrodistillation from leaves of Schinus latifolius Engl. was analysed by GC and GC‐ MS. Forty‐eight components of the oil were identified with certainty; they represented 96% of the oil which contained mainly monoterpenes; β‐pinene (35%), sabinene (24%) and α‐pinene (21%) being the major constituents. Sesquiterpenes, which were all found in a concentration lower than 1%, constituted 6.5% of the oil; the oxygen‐containing components of these, all alcohols, amounted to 4.8%. Phytochemical studies on the oil have not been reported previously.
