The essential oil of Ageratum conyzoides L. (Asteraceae) growing in Reunion (Indian Ocean) was investigated using capillary GC and GC–MS. Two main components 7‐methoxy‐2,2‐dimethylchromene (Precocene I) and β‐caryophyllene, a large number of terpenoids and some chromenes are reported. Two new compounds, coumarin and phytol (a diterpene alcohol), were identified.
