Abstract Essential oils from the leaves and flowers of Lantana camara L. var. aculeata were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Thirty-nine and 46 constituents were identified in the leaf and flower oils, respectively. Sabinene (19.6–21.5%), 1,8-cineole (12.6–14.8%), β-caryophyllene (12.7–13.4%) and α-humulene (5.8–6.3%) were the major components of both oils. Two rare sesquiterpenoids—humulene epoxide III and 8-hydroxybicyclogermacrene—were also isolated from the oils.
