Abstract
The erial parts of Geranium rotundifolium L. were collected during the flowering stage from National Botanical Garden of Iran in Jun 2001. Dry leaves of the plant were hydrodistilled for obtaining the essential oil. No significant amount of the oil was produced so it was separated from water by adding diethyl ether, and analysed by GC and GC/MS.
The major constituents determind in leaf oil were α-terpinyl acetate (39.3%) and pulegone (27.7%),respectively.
