The essential oil of Salvia argentea L., collected from south‐eastern Serbia, was analysed by GC–MS. Forty‐seven constituents were identified. The oil was characterized by a high content of sesquiterpenes. The major constituents were viridiflorol (32.4%), manool (14.6%) and α‐humulene (10.7%). Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
