Abstract Essential oils of Helichrysum faradifani were isolated from fresh or dry plant parts by steam distillation with yields from 0.1â0.8%. Analysis of the oils by GC and GC/MS enabled the identification of 49 components, of which Î±-fenchene (trace-27.3%), Î²-caryophyllene (14.8â29.2%) and Î²-himachalene (15.7â36.6%) were most predominant.
