AB  - In this study, the essential oils from the arial parts of <I>Lallemantia iberica</I> (Lamiaceae), collected in 2 stages (flowering and post-flowering) from plants that caltivated in Institute of Medicinal Plants (ACECR) in Hashtgerd of Iran were obtained by hydrodistillation in Clevenger type apparatus. The chemical components of the essential oils were examined by GC and GC-MS then 36 components were characterized in flowering stage with &#946;-cubeben (19.55%), Linalool (18.71%), spathulenol (18.04%), &#946;-caryophyllene (11.11%), geraniol (3.50%) and bicyclogermacrene (3.46%) as the major constituents. All constituents are representing 97.39% of the essential oil, contained monoterpenes (33.85%) and sesquiterpens (63.54%). About 39 components of essential oil of post-flowering stage were introduced which caryophylene oxide (38.77%), linalool (15.15%), Germacrene-D (7.03%), Trans-caryophylene (5.61%), &#946;-bourbonene (4.96%) and Trans-geraniol (4.34%) as the major constituents of it. All components are representing 95.74% of the essential oil contained monoterpens (26.51%) and sesquiterpens (69.23%). The studied essential oils showed antioxidant activities as calculated by 2 <I>in vitro </I>assays; DPPH radical scavenging and Ferric Reducing Power Assay (FRAP).
