The essential oil obtained from the aerial parts of Phlomis lanata has been analyzed by GC/MS. 48 compounds representing 96.85% of the oil were identified; alpha-pinene, limonene and trans-caryophyllene were found as its main components. The essential all showed a moderate in vitro activity against six Gram (+/-) bacteria and a stronger one against the three tested pathogenic fungi.
