Abstract :Nepeta L. is one of the important genus in the Lamiaceae family. It includes ca. 300 herbaceous species and mostly grows in Eurasia. Nepeta is represented in Turkey by 40 taxa and of these 16 are endemic. Nepeta species are commonly utilized in traditional medicine by the local people, primarily as spasmolytic, diuretic, and bronchodilator agents. As a consequence of studies on Nepeta taxa, terpenoids and flavonoids have been identified as the most common components. In this report, chemical contents of two endemic Nepeta taxa insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(N. viscida from Buharkent/Aydın and N. nuda L. subsp. lydiae from Altınyayla/Burdur); were presented. The main constituents were determined as α-terpineol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(20.59%);, trans-β-caryophyllene insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(9.90%); and spathulenol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(9.37%); for N. viscida, and 1,8-cineole insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(31.31%);, borneol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(18.95%); and caryophyllene oxide insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(14.59%); for N. nuda subsp. lydiae.
