Abstract

The genus Marrubium (Labiatae) is represented by 23 taxa, 13 of which are endemic to Turky(1). Aerial parts of Marrubium anisodon were subjected to hydrodistillation for 3h using a Clevenger-type apparatus. Essential oil of the plant material from Turkey was analysed by GC and GC/MS. Thirty-nine components were characterized in total, representing 87.9 % of the oil. (Z)-farnesene (20.2 %), nonacosane (18.5%) and caryophyllene (13.3 %) were main constituents. References: 1.
