The chemical composition of the volatile metabolites from needles of Pinus attenuata Lemmon, P. heldreichii Christ, P. peuce Griseb., P. pinaster Ait. and P. radiata D. Don, growing in natural habitats of Greece, was analysed. By means of GC–MS and comparison with authentic reference standards and Kováts indices, 43 compounds were identified. The chemical variability of the terpenoid constituents is discussed.
