is a small genus of economically important plants belonging to Lamiaceae family whose botanical collocation is quite problematic due to the disagreement among the botanists and the presence in literature of several names and synonyms from different sources. In the present study the chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of subsp. (Strobl) Brullo & Brullo collected in Central Sicily was analyzed by GC-MS. The result showed the presence of large quantity of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons with germacrene D (37.9%) as the most abundant component followed by ()--caryophyllene (5.1%). Among the oxygenated monoterpenes thymol (8.3%) was the most abundant; good quantity of hexadecanoic acid (6.8%) was also observed. Chemotaxonomic considerations with respect all the other oils of taxa, studied so far, were carried out.
属于唇形科的一个具有经济重要性的小属，由于植物学家之间存在分歧，以及文献中存在来自不同来源的多个名称和同义词，其植物学分类一直存在问题。在本研究中，通过 GC-MS 分析了从中西西里省采集的 亚种（Strobl）Brullo & Brullo 的地上部分精油的化学成分。结果表明，存在大量的倍半萜类碳氢化合物，以大根香叶烯 D（37.9%）为最丰富的成分，其次是（）-石竹烯（5.1%）。在含氧单萜中，百里酚（8.3%）含量最高；还观察到大量的十六烷酸（6.8%）。对迄今为止研究过的所有其他 分类群的精油进行了化学分类学考虑。
