Abstract

The essential oils from 9 populations of Mentha longifolia (L.) L., ssp. longifolia and ssp. petiolata (Boiss.) Kokkini, growing wild in Greece, were investigated by means of GLC and GLC-MS. Piperitone oxide has been found as the main component in the essential oils of both subspecies while carvone only in some individuals of ssp. petiolata (chemotype 2).
