Abstract
Morphological, chemical and indumentum characteristics of Rhododendron ponticum L. subsp. ponticum collected from Bartin province have been investigated. A detailed description of the species has been prepared and compared with that published in the Flora of Turkey of Davis in a tabular form. The taxonomic and morphological characteristics of the plant material have been described and illustrated by drawings. Indumentum characteristics were also investigated.Volatiles of the flowers were trapped by a dynamic headspace SPME setup and their hexane extract were analyzed by GC/MS. Main components of the headspace trapped volatiles of flowers were characterized as alpha-pinene (44.5 %), beta-pinene (10.8%), linalool (4%) and limonene (3.3%) whereas main components in volatiles of the hexane extract were linalool (19.6%), phenylethyl alcohol (19.1%), myrtenol (10.1%). citronellol (9.4%) and phenylacetaldehyde (7.8%).
