Davis and Teucrium odontites Boissier & Ball are endemic species for Turkey. T. odontites is endangered (EN) taxa and could be damaged in the future. The aerial organs of T. montbretii subsp. pamphylicum and T. odontites bearnumerous eglandular and glandular trichomes. Eglandular trichomes are simple, long-multicellular with cuticular micropapillae and glandular hairs are of peltate and capitate types. Hydrodistilled essential oils of T. montbretii subsp. pamphylicum and T. odontites were analysed by GC/MS. Caryophyllene oxide (37.4%), β-caryophyllene (29.1%) and caryophyllenol-II (7.9%) were the main constituent in the oil of T. montbretii subsp. pamphylicum, cadalene (10.3%), caryophyllene oxide (7.2%) and alloaromadendrene (6.0%) were the main component in the oil of T. odontites. Key words: Teucrium, Lamiaceae, morphology, trichomes ----------  ---------- Teucrium montbretii and Teucrium odontites (Lamiaceae)’nin karşılaştırmalı sistematik, morfolojik, tüy ve fitokimyasal özellikleri Özet Teucrium montbretii Bentham subsp. pamphylicum P.H. Davis and Teucrium odontites Boissier & Ball Türkiye için endemik türlerdir. T. odontites endangered (EN) tehlike kategorisindedir ve gelecekte doğadan yok olabilir. T. montbretii ve T. odontites’in toprak üstü organları çok sayıda salgı ve örtü tüyleri taşır. Örtü tüyleri basit, papilli kütikulalı çok hücreli, salgı tüyleri peltat ve kapitat tipindedir. T. montbretii ve T. odontites’in hidrodistilasyonla elde edilen uçucu yağları GC/MS cihazında analiz edilmiştir. Caryophyllene oxide (37.4%), β-caryophyllene (29.1%) ve caryophyllenol-II (7.9%) T. montbretii’nin ana bileşenleri, cadalene (10.3%), caryophyllene oxide (7.2%) ve alloaromadendrene (6.0%) ise T. odontites’in ana bileşenleri olarak bulunmuştur.

The species belonging to the Lamiaceae family are characterized by the presence of glandular trichome. This epidermal appendice is not only in species having a characteristic scent, but also in species which lack fragrance. The literature concerning these trichomes is very rich as regards to morphology, differentiation, ultrastructure and mode of secretion (Werker, 2000; Fahn, 2000). Turkey is an important gene center for the family Lamiaceae (Başer, 1993). With their pleasant fragrance, many species of Lamiaceae have been used as herbal teas in Turkey. Many of species are used as raw material in cosmetic industry. * Corresponding author / Haberleşmeden sorumlu yazar: Tel.: +902223350580; Fax.: +902223350750; E-mail: salan@anadolu.edu.tr © 2008 All rights reserved / Tüm hakları saklıdır BioDiCon. 515-0116
