Samples of Phlomis taxa were collected from 16 sampling areas in lower and upper altitudes levels and volatile components were determined by SPME analyses. (E)-2-Hexenal (10.07%), β-Caryophyllene (16.55%) and Germacrene-D (27.03%) have been determined in lower elevation level and also (E) -2-Hexenal (9.64%), β-Caryophyllene (15.73%) and Germacrene-D (25.45%) in upper elevation level for Phlomis armeniaca; α-Cubebene (16.70%), β-Caryophyllene (13.96%) and Germacrene-D (13.31 %) were determined in lower elevation level and also α -Cubebene (13.18 %), β-Caryophyllene (12.37%) and Germacrene-D (11.13%) have been determined in upper elevation for P. bourgei; Pinene (24.40%), α-Cedrene (31.15%) and α-Curcumene (13.92%) have been determined in lower elevation and also α-Pinene (23.29%), α-Cedrene (25.87 %) and α-Curcumene (7.91 %) have been determined in upper elevation for Phlomis grandiflora var. grandiflora; (E)-2-Hexenal (8.74 %), Limonene (14.56 %) and β-Caryophyllene (22.45 %) have been determined in lower elevation and (E)-2-Hexenal (10.81 %), Limonene (17.55 %) and β-Caryophyllene (24.09 %) have been determined in upper elevation level for Phlomis leucophracta; Limonene (10.68%), β-Caryophyllene (25.66%) and Germacrene-D (26.88 %) have been determined in lower elevation and Limonene (5.75 %), β-Caryophyllene (22.50 %) and Germacrene-D (25.13 %) have been determined in upper elevation for Phlomis lycia; Limonene (20.65 %), β-Caryophyllene (14.28 %) and Germacrene-D (8. 27%) have been determined in lower elevation and also Limonene (14.95%), β-Caryophyllene (14.15 %) and Germacrene-D (7.71 %) have been determined in upper elevation for P. nissolii; (E)-2-Hexenal (17.68%), Vinly amyl carbinol (18.60 %) and Germacrene-D (8.25%) have been determined in lower elevation and (E)-2-Hexenal (16.87 %), Vinly amyl carbinol (12.85 %) and Germacrene-D (7.78 %) in upper elevation for Phlomis pungens var. pungens and also α-Copaene (14.71%), β-Caryophyllene (13.75%) and Germacrene-D (17.23 %) have been determined in lower elevation and also α-Copaene (8.10 %), β-Caryophyllene (8.46 %) and Germacrene-D (16.84%) in upper elevation for P. samia. As a result, it is determined that reaping the flower and leaves of Phlomis taxa on lower altitudes for productivity of volatile components.
