Essential oils from dried aerial parts of Salvia heldreichiana Boiss. Ex Bentham and Salvia tomentosa Mill. were analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The air dried plant materials were subjected to hydrodistillation for 4 h using a Clevenger type apparatus to give yellow oils in 0.5% (S. heldreichiana) and 1.3% (S. tomentosa), respectively. Seventy and fifty-four constituents were identified in the oils of both plants, representing 95.2 and 96.9% of the total oil. While α-Pinene (8.19%), β-pinene (14.89%), linalool (5.06%) and α-terpineol (6.19%) were established as major constituents of S.heldreichiana, α-pinene (5.24%), β-pinene (44.78%), myrcene (7.41%), eucalyptol (12.11%) were found as major constituents of S.tomentosa oil.
