In this study, Lavandula stoechas L. subsp. stoechas which is plant with economic
and medicinal importance has comparatively been examined morphologically,
anatomically and chemically for first time.   A detailed description of the species has been
prepared and compared with that those published in the Flora of Turkey of Davis
in tabular form. The taxonomical, morphological and anatomical characteristics
of the plant material have been described and illustrated with drawings. General appearance of
leaves, branches, flowers, calyx, corolla and fruit shapes are described. Of the L. stoechas subsp. stoechas samples collected from C2 Muğla: Ula, Portakallık, the herbaceous
and woody stem and leaves were examined. Analyses of the hydrodistilled
oil were performed on GC and GC/MS systems. Camphor (45.8%), α-fenchone (31.8%)
and bornyl acetate (4.2%)
were
found as main constituents in the essential oil of L. stoechas subsp. stoechas.
