Abstract
In this study, we investigated the chemical composition of an endemic species of Achillea schischkinii Sosn. (Asteraceae) collected from eastern part of Turkey (Van). Air-dried aerial parts were subjected to water-distillation using a Clevenger-type system. The essential oil was analyzed by GC-MS. Thirty-nine compounds were characterized, representing 99.2% of the total oil, were identified. The main constituents were camphor (33.4%), 1,8-cineole (9.0%) and spathulenol (8.6%). Oxygenated monoterpenes dominated the oil.
