The overall composition of the essential oil of a botanically described Mentha aquatica (2n = 96) has been determined. Limonene, caryophyllene and germacrene-D are the major hydrocarbons and bicyclogermacrene and viridiflorol, an oxygenated compound, are present in substantial amounts. The presence of small amounts of menthones, mentholes and menthyl acetates is indicated.
