Abstract

In this study was present data about chemical analysis of essential oil for Lavandula angustifolia plant populations from some stations of Albania. Lavandula angustifolia is a plant of Lamiaceae family in the form of a beautiful shrub with numerous branches used often as decorative plant besides it uses for medical purposes. It is not plant of our spontaneous flora but cultivated and grown almost throughout the Mediterranean including our country. Lavandula angustifolia cultivated areas are the North of Albania and Middle Albania (1; 2; 3).

Keywords:

Lavandula angustifolia, Essential oil, Linalool, Linalool acetate, Camphor, Cineol, Ocimen, GC/FID.
