Abstract
The essential oil obtained from the aerial parts of Phlomis lanata has been analyzed by GC/MS. 48 compounds representing 96.85% of the oil were identi fied; alpha -pinene, limonene and trans-caryophyllene were found as its mai n components. The essential oil showed a moderate in vitro activity against six Gram (+/-) bacteria and a stronger one against the three tested pathog enic fungi.
