Abstract :ABSTRACT: The chemical composition of the essential oils of dried aerial parts of two Teucrium species were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The essential oils of  two Teucrium species  were studied and eighty components, in all, were identified representing insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(90.8%); and insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(82.4%); of the oils respectively.   The oil of Teucrium polium L. subsp. polium is characterized by the monoterpene b -pinene insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10.2%); and the sesquiterpene germacrene D insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10.1%);, while that of Teucrium multicaule Montbret Et Aucher Ex Bentham had a higher contents of sesquiterpene caryophyllene oxide insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(31.1%);. Quantitative and qualitative variations were determined in the essential oil composition of different parts of the studied plant. The high amount of monoterpenes α- and β-pinene and the sesquiterpene germacrene D, caryophyllene oxide make the studied taxon a privileged potential source for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and industrial products.
