Abstract The family of succulent plants, Crassulaceae, is known for many benefits, as well for the limited distribution of aromatic representatives. It is also observed the deficiency of data on content and distribution of volatile compounds within the genus Hylotelephium . Accordingly, this is the first report on volatiles from roots of three Hylotelephium taxa: H. telephium , H. maximum and H. spectabile x telephium . Two types of volatiles were isolated: headspace (HS) volatiles and solvent extract volatiles from the distillation water (SE), further analyzed by GC–MS/FID. The obtained results contribute to the knowledge that some of the genera of Crassulaceae family “hides” unexplored sources of aromaticity and fragrance. All three SEs are characterized by low yields and the high content of monoterpene alcohol – myrtenol. The differences are mostly reflected in content of some myrtenol analogs ( cis ‐myrtanol, trans‐ myrtanol and myrtenoic acid) and aliphatic alcohol oct‐1‐en‐3‐ol. HS volatiles of H. telephium and H. spectabile x telephium contain myrtenol and oct‐1‐en‐3‐ol, while H. maximum beside them contain 3‐octanol in significant amount. Additionally, characteristic distribution pattern of the SE volatiles could be used for chemotaxonomic purposes, while the distribution pattern of HS volatiles is practically inapplicable in that manner. Due to high content of myrtenol in root volatiles, it could be used in traditional medicine, as supplement, flavouring or aroma agent.
