Abstract
Satureja wiedemanniana (Lallem.) Velen (Lamiaceae) is an endemic species of Turkey. Aerial parts of the plant collected from eleven different localiti es in Turkey were subjected to hydrodistillation to yield essential oils wh ich were analysed by a GC/MS system. Carvacrol, thymol, p-cymene and gamma -terpinene were found as the main constituents. Antibacterial evaluation of the oils was also carried out.
