As a part of our research on aromatic plants from Córdoba, Argentina (1–4), we have examined the oil composition of the leaves of Calamintha nepeta(L.) Savi and Mentha off. suaveolens Ehrh., grown in Argentina, using GC and GC/MS. The major constituents of die leaf oil of Calamintha nepeta were pulegone (34.28%), neomenthol (30.61%) and menthone (17.12%) while that of Mentha off. suaveolens had menthol (48.32%), pulegone (20.27%) and menthone (8.90%) as the major components.Keywords
