The seed oil of Teucrium depressum Small yields two unusual trienoid compo n en t s, all-cis-5,9 ,12-octadecatrienoic acid (6.7%) and trans-5,cis-9,cis-12-octadecatrienoic acid (2.0%). A third unusual component, identified as cis-5.cis-9-octadecadienoic acid, also occurs U; this oil as a trace constituent.

Composition of the essential oil obtained from dried flowering aerial parts of Teucrium scordium L. (Labiatae) was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Fifty-six components were identified in the essential oil of T. scordium. The major constituents of the oil were beta-caryophyllene (22.8%), (E)-beta-farnesene (10.4%), caryophyllene oxide (8.6%), 1,8-cineole (6.1%) and beta-eudesmol (5.1%).
