Abstract

The genus Lavandula (Lamiaceae) represented with 2 species and 3 taxa in the Flora of Turkey (1). L. stoechas is used as analgezic, antiseptic, wound-healing, sedative, expectorant, treatment of eczama wounds and as cardiotonic (2). Aerial parts of Lavandula stoechas L. subsp. stoechas (Boiss.) were subjected to hydrodistillation for 3 h using a Clevenger-type apparatus to yield 1.16% oil. The oil was analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Forty five compounds representing 97.4% of the essential oil were characterized from Lavandula stoechas subsp. stoechas. Camphor (45.8%), ï¡-fenchone (31.8%), bornyl acetate (4.2%) and camphene (2.5%) were the main constituents in the oil of Lavandula stoechas subsp. stoechas. References: 1.
