| Abstract: | Essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Thymus eriocalyx (Ronniger) Jalas, at full flowering stage, from various locations in central and west Iran. Gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy analyses of the oils revealed that the major components, linalool (1.8-60.4%), geraniol (trace-50.5%) and thymol (1.6-58.4%), varied widely. Based on the variation in oil composition between the various taxa, the existence of three chemotypes is proposed. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
