L. genus, belonging to the Apiaceae family, includes more than eighty taxa, mainly growing in Europe and Asia. Due to the several biological properties, species of this genus have been largely investigated, showing to be a rich source of coumarins, as well as, of essential oils with anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, cytotoxic, etc. properties. In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oils from aerial parts of Sicilian accessions of subsp. and subsp. were analysed by GC-MS. No one report has been previously published on the subsp. . The results showed the presence, in both oils, of large quantity of monoterpene hydrocarbons. Main metabolites were -pinene (15.81-19.84%), -pinene (14.63-18.52%), sylvestrene (11.18-17.45%) and 3-carene (14.58%), the last one being absent in the oil of subsp. . Chemotaxonomic considerations with respect to other oils of taxa were carried out.
L.属属于伞形科，包括八十多个分类单元，主要生长在欧洲和亚洲。由于其多种生物学特性，该属的物种已得到大量研究，显示出是香豆素的丰富来源，以及具有抗炎、抗病毒、抗真菌、细胞毒性等特性的精油的丰富来源。在本研究中，通过气相色谱-质谱联用仪（GC-MS）分析了西西里亚种和亚种地上部分精油的化学成分。此前尚未有关于亚种的报道。结果表明，两种精油中均存在大量单萜烃类。主要代谢产物为α-蒎烯（15.81 - 19.84%）、β-蒎烯（14.63 - 18.52%）、长叶烯（11.18 - 17.45%）和3-蒈烯（14.58%），最后一种在亚种的精油中不存在。对该属其他分类单元的其他精油进行了化学分类学考量。
