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.
