Kirmizibekmez et al. (2009) compared
the compositions of the flower and leaf oils
of L. stoechas subsp. stoechas of Turkish
origin. Using a combination of GC-FID
and GC/MS, the oils were found to con-
tain 55 and 66 constituents, respectively.

Tzakou et al. (2009) used GC-FID
and GC/MS to compare the composi-
tion of flower and leaf oils of L. stoechas
subsp. stoechas of Greek origin. The
results of this study are summarized
on T- 3. In addition, trace amounts of

nene, b-pinene, myrcene, a-terpinene,
p-cymene, limonene, g-terpinene, terpi-
nolene, linalool, a-campholenal, sabina

Mahboubi and Kazempour (2009)
used both GC-FID and GC/MS to char-
acterize the composition of a lab-distilled
oil of Iranian grown L. stoechas. The
oil was found to contain the following
components:
