Abstract The volatile constituents of the underground parts of Achillea lingulata Waldst. & Kit. obtained by hydrodistillation were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. One-hundred-twenty constituents identified accounted for 94.1% of the total oil. The major components of the oil were: neryl tiglate (16.2%), Ï-cadinol (12.2%), neryl isovalerate (9.7%) and cubenol (8.9%). The terpenoid fraction represented ca. 90% of the oil (28.8% monoterpenoids, with monoterpene esters making up 27.8%, 60.4% sesquiterpenoids and 0.2% diterpenoids).
