Bothriochloa bladhi (Retz.) S. T. Blake, an aromatic fodder grass in the Himalayan region yielded 0.2% essential oil. Thirteen monoterpenoids and 14 sesquiterpenoids were identified in the oil, with sesquiterpenoids being the major constituents of the oil. The composition of this oil differs from reports on the essential oils from other Bothriochloa species with respect to major constituents, especially in the absence of acorenone‐B.
