The oil yields from the flowers collected in LA, QL and LM were six, four and one-fold higher, respectively, than the average oil yields from the remaining aerial parts. Monoterpenes were dominant in all oils (>86%), and sesquiterpenes accounted for 1–6% of the total oils. Diterpenes, phenylpropanoids and non-terpenoid compounds were present in all oils (0.1–0.6%, trace amounts and t-0.4%, respectively). Borneol (26–31%) and camphene (9–18%) dominated QL oils and borneol (18–23%), terpinen-4-ol (11–19%) and camphene (8–10%) were the main components of LM oils. LA oils showed high variability in the dominant components, cis-sabinene hydrate (14%), terpinen-4-ol (12%) and borneol (11%) being the main components in the flower oil. Terpinen-4-ol (18%) and borneol (18%) dominated the vegetative phase oil, whereas borneol (21%) and terpinen-4-ol (16%) dominated the aerial parts oils collected in May and July, respectively. QL oils can be classified as a borneol/camphene chemotype and one of the LA samples as borneol/cis-sabinene hydrate/terpinen-4-ol chemotype. However, all the other LM and LA samples do not fi t within the previously defi ned chemotypes. | ISSN : | 1041-2905 | En ligne : | http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10412905.2005.9698950#.UchLnmF2_n6 |
