The genus Ziziphora L. belongs to the Lamiaceae family and consists of four species (Ziziphora clinopodioides, Ziziphora capitata, Ziziphora persica and Ziziphora tenuior). Z. clinopodioides is an edible medicinal plant that its leaves, flowers and stems are frequently used as wild vegetable or additive in foods to offer aroma and flavor.  The plant known locally as ‘Kır nanesi’ is used in the preparation of an aromatic tea for gastrointestinal disorders and as a carminative, antiseptic and wound healing material in Turkey. In this study, essential oil content and compositions of three Ziziphora clinopodioides plant were collected from Ermenek (Southern part of Turkey). The altitudes of collected places of plants were varied between 908 m and 1286 m. from sea level. The essential oil content of Z. clinopodioides plants was hydro-distilled by Clevenger apparatus, and they were determined between 0.12% and 0.50%. The highest essential oil content (0.50%) was obtained from 908 m.  The composition of essential oils was analyzed by GC/MS.
