Abstract
Water distilled essential oils from two varieties of Sideritis erythrantha: var. erythrantha and var. cedretorum, both endemic in Turkey, were analysed by GC/MS. The main components were characterized as alpha -pinene (16.3-19.5%) and sabinene (6.1- 10.4%) for var. erythrantha: myrcene (21.9-24.3%) and alpha -pinene (11.4- 12.4%) for var. cedretorum.
