Abstract

The chemical composition of essential oils of Salvia virgata Jacq. and Salvia syriaca L. growing wild in  Iran were examined by GC and GC-MS Fifteen components were characterized  for S. virgata with β-caryophyllene (46.6%), germacrene  B (13.9%), β-caryophyllene epoxide (13.2%), spathulenol (6.4%) and germacrene D (5.7%) as the major constituents, Twenty-two components were identified in the oil of S. syriaca, with germacrene  -D (29.2%), α-ylangene (3.6%) and spathulaenol (3.4%) as the major constituents.
