Abstract

Volatile constituents of Achillea grandifolia Friv. growing wild in Greece were studied by means of GC and GC-EIMS. Sixty constituents were identified. The main components were camphor, α- and β-thujone, and 1,8-cineole. Twenty-six constituents have not been previously reported in the essential oils of the genus Achillea.
