The chemical composition of the six essential oils obtained from Teucrium libanitis and Teucrium turredanum collected at different localities was analysed by GC and GC–MS. Fifty-three constituents were identified. The oil of T. libanitis is characterized by the monoterpene α-pinene (9.9–21.2%) and the sesquiterpene δ-cadinene (5.3–9.7%), while that of T. turredanum had a higher content of sesquiterpenoids: β-caryophyllene (15.6–32.6%), α-humulene (4.7–10.1%) and β-bisabolol (6.4–8.3%), and a lower percentage of monoterpenoids (<1%). A multivariate procedure (hierarchical clustering) for detecting natural grouping established that T. libanitis and T. turredanum constitute two independent taxa.
