Ninety constituents (98%) of the essential oil of the leaves and flowers of Achillea eriophora DC. (Compositae) were identified. The main constituents are 1,8-cineole (34%) and the pinenes (13%). The oil contains only 7% of sesquiterpenes, mainly caryophyllene derivatives. Three new farnesol derivatives were isolated as trace constituents. The structures were confirmed by 1H- and 13C-NMR data.
