Ferulago W. Koch is a genus of the family Apiaceae and 35 taxa grow naturally in our country [1], [2]. Members of this genus are used in traditional medicine for their various biological activities, and mostly known for their aphrodisiac activities [3]. In this study we analyzed the essential oil of different parts of F. pauciradiata, an endemic species for Turkey.

Essential oils of the grounded roots, aerial parts and fruits were obtained by hydrodistillation using a Clevenger type apparatus for 3h and they were analyzed both by GC-FID and GC-MS, simultaneously.

The main components of the plant organs are as follows: Roots: 2,5, dimethoxy-p-cymene (69.7%), p-cymene (12.7%), γ-terpinene; Aerial parts: 2,5, dimethoxy-p-cymene (33.0%), α-pinene (9.0%), nonacosane (8.9%); Fruits: bornyl acetate (30.4%), germacrene D (8.1%), α-pinene (7.0%)

In the literature, there is only one study present regarding the essential oil composition of the fruits [4] and the content and amount of major components are somewhat different which may be due to the different collection localities. As far as we are concerned, the compositions of the roots and aerial parts have been analyzed for the first time.
