First, a bulk sample was analysed and 45 constituents were identified. The main components were α-pinene (39%), viridiflorol (11.8%), ledol (3.3%) and bornyl acetate (3.1%). The occurrence of cyclosativene, γ-cadinene, (E)-β-farnesene and β-eudesmol in the essential oil of Cistus ladaniferus is reported here for the first time. Then, in order to study the chemical variability of individual oils, we examined 20 samples. α-Pinene (11.1–47.4%) was the most abundant component in 18 of the 20 samples, followed by trans-pinocarveol (4.4–10.9%) and viridiflorol (4.7–10.7%). Two samples exhibited a different chemical composition, not as yet described, characterized by the predominance of viridiflorol (20–22.6%), ledol (6.4–6.7%) and trans-pinocarveol (5.4–8.6%). © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The constituents of the essential oil of Stachys glutinosa L. were investigated for the first time. In a first part, we studied a collective oil following a methodology which combined chromatographic techniques (CC, GC) with spectroscopic techniques (MS, 13C-NMR). Sixty-four constituents (91% of the total composition) were identified. The major compounds were terpinen-4-ol (13.1%), α-pinene (10.1%), α-terpineol (8.4%), β-phellandrene (6.8%) and γ-terpinene (6.1%). In a second part, we investigated 53 oil samples obtained from individual plants collected widely in Corsica, by GC–RI and GC–MS. The essential oils of S. glutinosa displayed a wide infraspecific chemical variability. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
