The volatile oil compositions of five Stachys species (Stachys officinalis L., St. grandiflora Host., St. byzantina Koch., St. germanica L. and St. sylvatica L.) have been studied using a GC/MS technique. All species gave low yields of oil. From St. officinalis 38 compounds were separated and partly identified, from St. grandiflora 24, St. byzantina 30, St. germanica 29 and St. sylvatica 43. Al...

Stachys genus with medicinal properties and high polymorphic features has been considered one of the largest genera of Lamiaceae. The aim of this study was to determine the flavonoid pattern variations and flavonoid groups in ten Stachys species belonging to two sections; Fragilicaulis, and Aucheriana. The studied species were collected from natural habitats in Iran and analysed for their flavo...

Stachys lavandulifolia is among the species that is used for immune disorders, applied topically, or taken orally as an herbal tea. The plant is also used for stomachache, anodyne, labor, and spasm. According to the results of a pharmacological survey, the extract of Stachys lavandulifolia from the aerial parts has shown to be effective in the improvement of patients suffering from anxiety diso...

The phenomenon of polyploidy and hybridization usually results in novel genetic combinations, leading to complex, reticulate evolution and incongruence among gene trees, which in turn may show different phylogenetic histories than the inherent species tree. The largest tribe within the subfamily Lamioideae (Lamiaceae), Stachydeae, which includes the globally distributed Stachys, and one of the ...
