Objective: The Daphne genus, belongs to the Thymelaeacea, which includes approximately 500 plant species and 44 taxa. In this study, the volatile components of 7 species (Daphne mezereum L., D. pontica L., D. glomerata Lam., D. sericea Wahl., D. oleoides Schreber, D. gnidioides Jaub et. Spach and D. mucronata Royle) and 2 subspecies (D. mucronata subsp. turcica and D. oleoides subsp. kurdica) of the genus Daphne naturally grown in Türkiye were investigated. Material and Method: The volatile profiles of the hydrodistillated samples were analysed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), simultaneously. Result and Discussion: The major volatile components for all samples were determined as tricosane (16.0-0.3%), pentacosane (17.6-1.2%), phytol (11.4-0.6%), heptacosane (10.1-1.0%) and hexadecanoic acid (53.2-9.0%).
