Abstract
The composition of 50 samples of essential oil of individual plants of Juni perus phoenicea subsp. turbinata from Corsica was investigated by GC, GC-MS and C-13 NMR. alpha -Pinene, beta -phellandrene, alpha -terpinyl acetate, Delta -3-carene, myrcene and alpha -phellandrene were found to be the main constituents. The results were submitted to cluster analysis and discrimina nt analysis which allowed two groups of essential oils to be distinguished with respect to the content of alpha -pinene, beta -phellandrene and alpha -terpinyl acetate.
