Abstract

Linaria heterophylla Desf. is a seasonal plant growing in sandy soil and along road sides of Tunisia, having yellow flowers with specific pleasant smell. Analysis of the floral essential oil chemical composition by means of GC-FID and GC-MS, allowed the identification of 49 volatiles compounds representing (98.1) % of the entire composition. α- and. β-thujone (42.5 and 13.5 %, respectively) were found to be the 6 major components of the oil.
