Abstract

The composition of hydrodistilled essential oils of three species of Phlomis (Lamiaceae), P. lanceolata, P. anisodonta and P. bruguieri, were investigated by GC and GC–MS, and 31, 28 and 21 compounds, representing 94.1%, 96.0% and 96.8%, respectively, of the total oils, were identified. In all three samples, sesquiterpenes were the main components. In P. lanceolata oil the main components were germacrene D (47.0%), (E)‐β‐farnesene (10.5%), α‐pinene (8.7%), germacrene B (8.0%), bicyclogermacrene (5.9%); in P. anisodonta, germacrene D (65.0%) and β‐caryophyllene (11.0%); and in P. bruguieri, germacrene D (60.5%), γ‐elemene (16.5%), germacrene B (7.1%) and bicyclogermacrene (4.1%).
