L. is a taxonomically difficult genus belonging to the Boraginaceae family, distributed in Asia, Europe, mainly in Turkey, and in the Mediterranean region. Plants of this genus are used against various diseases in the ethnomedicine of several countries. In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oil was obtained from the hydrodistillation of aerial parts of the Sicilian accession of Desf. was analysed by GC and GC-MS. The main constituents of the essential oil were aldehydes and ketones (69.9%) with nonanal (18.9%), 4--butoxy-2-butanone (18.1%), and 3-methyl-butanal (13.1%) as main metabolites. No one paper has been previously published on the essential oil of this species, and there is a lack of studies also in the near related genera. The aim of this work is in fact, to study a species that has never been investigated, and through this, try to help place it within the Boraginaceae family.
L.是一个在分类学上颇具难度的属，隶属于紫草科，分布于亚洲、欧洲，主要在土耳其以及地中海地区。该属植物在多个国家的民族医学中用于治疗各种疾病。在本研究中，通过对西西里岛引种的Desf.地上部分进行水蒸馏获得了精油的化学成分，并采用气相色谱（GC）和气相色谱 - 质谱联用（GC-MS）进行分析。精油的主要成分是醛类和酮类（69.9%），其中壬醛（18.9%）、4 - 丁氧基 - 2 - 丁酮（18.1%）和3 - 甲基丁醛（13.1%）为主要代谢产物。此前尚无关于该物种精油的文献发表，与之近缘的属也缺乏相关研究。事实上，这项工作的目的是研究一个从未被研究过的物种，并借此尝试将其归入紫草科。
