Chemical Composition of Hymnocrater elegans Bunge. and Lagochillus aucheri Boiss. Two Labiateae Species from Iran

Abstract: Water distilled essential oils of the aerial parts of two Labiateae species: Hymnocrater elegens Bunge. and Lagochillus aucheri Boiss., were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Forty three compounds representing 92.6 % of the oil of H. elegans were identified, among which α-cadinol (12.4 %), caryophyllene oxide (11.6 %) and β-caryophyllene (9.6 %) were the major compounds. Germacrene D (20.8 %), α-pinene (19.7 %) and β-bourbonene (6.9 %) were the main components among the forty five compounds, comprising 91.3 % of the total oil of L. aucheri.
