The genus L. (Asparagaceae) has a wide geographical distribution being present in Europe, Africa, and Asia to N. Australia. The use of ssp. dates since Ancient Grecians and Romans and several ethnopharmacological properties have been reported for many species. Webb & Berthel is a taxon described for the flora of the Canary Islands. The species is also reported in northern Morocco. Recently it has also been included in the Italian flora as present in southern Sicily. In this study, the chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts () of a Sicilian accession of this plant, never previously investigated, was evaluated by GC-MS. The essential was characterised by large amounts of aldehydes (65.5%) and alkanes (19.3%) whereas terpenes were very poorly represented. An update of all the essential oils of species, studied so far, was carried out.
L.属（天门冬科）分布广泛，存在于欧洲、非洲、亚洲至澳大利亚北部。自古希腊人和罗马人以来就有使用该亚种的记载，许多物种都报道了其多种民族药理学特性。Webb & Berthel是为加那利群岛植物群描述的一个分类群。该物种在摩洛哥北部也有报道。最近，它也被列入意大利植物群，因为在西西里岛南部有分布。在本研究中，通过气相色谱-质谱联用（GC-MS）对该植物西西里岛种质地上部分（）的精油化学成分进行了评估，此前从未对其进行过研究。该精油的特点是含有大量醛类（65.5%）和烷烃（19.3%），而萜类化合物的含量非常低。对迄今为止研究的该物种的所有精油进行了更新。
