| Abstract: | The distribution of Salvia pomifera subsp. pomifera (Cretan sage) on the island of Crete is presented. The essential oils of six populations scattered on the island are studied. The essential oil content varies from 2.1–4.2%, whereas the main oil components were in all cases α- and/or β-thujone (27.4–72.3% and 7.1–40.8%, respectively). The comparison of our results to literature data, suggest that S. pomifera can be distinguished from S. fruticosa (Greek sage), on the basis of its essential oil composition. |
