| Abstract:
Species of 30 genera of the Family Lamiaceae showed differences according to the subfamilies by Erdtman. The rosmarinic as well as free ursolic and oleanolic acids were present in well detectable quantities in the Subfam. Nepetoideae, while they were not regularly present or only in lower quantities in the subfam. Lamioideae. In contrast to the mentioned chemotaxonomic markers the essential oil content showed less characteristic differences. Only some of 300 Salvia samples of approx. 50 species proved to be generally rich in essential oils. Among them the variation of oil composition and content of Salvia officinalis were investigated in more details. | |
