In this study, the essential oil composition of Salvia syriaca L., collected from Bingöl was analyzed. Flowering samples of S. syriaca plant were collected from the field and essential oils were obtained by water distillation method. The qualitative and quantitative compositions of the essential oils of this taxon were determined using GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy) and the essential oil yield was determined as 0.5% (v/w). 37 compounds have been identified, constituting 98.5% of the essential oil of S. syriaca species. The main components in S. syriaca were determined as spathulenol (24.96%), borneol (12.73%), camphene (9.95%) and caryophyllene oxide (8.7%). The results were discussed in view of chemotaxonomy and natural products.
