Abstract :Hypericum uniglandulosum Hausskn. ex Bornm. and Hypericum lydium Boiss. are growing naturally in the Eastern Anatolian region of Turkey and both are represented in the same section, Drosanthe Robson. The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Turkey native H. uniglandulosum and H. lydium were analyzed by GC, GC–MS. Twenty-six compounds were identified in the essential oils of H. uniglandulosum with pinene insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(35.1%);, undecane insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(19.2%);, benzoic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2.7%); and cyclohexasiloxane insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2.3%); as main constituents. Fifty-one components were identified in the oil of H. lydium with pinene insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(58%);, pinene insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(%5.10); and myrcene insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.1%); as the most abundant components. The essential oil compositions of both species have given some clues on the chemotaxonomy of genus and as a resource of natural product
