Tanacetum polycephalum Schultz-Bip is one of the Tanacetum species, a subfamily of Astreaceae that is known as an aromatic perrenial herb. The plant is antiseptic, analgesic, anaesthetic, anti -acnic, disinfective, expect orant, anti-cancer, anti-allergic, anti -irritant quality and can decrease blood pressure. The purpose of this study is to investigate the essential composites in the aerial parts of Tanacetum polycephalum . In the present survey, the essential oils were e x- tracted using water distillation from the aerial parts of the herb in the flowering stage, and the essential compounds were identified using GC and GC/MS instruments. The results from the study revealed 26 compounds, representing 80.76% of the total essential oils. The most significant compositions include myrtenol (35.43%), 1,8 -cineole (11.85%), ester (7.58%), α-pinene (4.59%), pinocarvone (4.03%), β-eudesmol (3.73%), borneol (3.50%) and β-pinene (2.83%). The find- ings indicate that there was a significant difference between the type and the quantity of compounds in the Tanacetum polycephalumand other species.
