There are 34 Phlomis L. species (Labiatae) growing in Turkey. Some Phlomis species are used as tonics and stimulants in Anatolia . During our systematic phytochemical investigations of Phlomis species we have studied P. linearis Boiss. & Bal.3−6, Phlomis armeniaca Willd., Phlomis pungens Willd. var. pungens 8−10, Phlomis pungens Willd. var. hirta Velen, Phlomis bourgaei Boiss., and Phlomis long...

Objective: Microscopic characterization of a plant is a valuable method for accurate identification of the plant powder. The plants of Phlomis genus (Lamiaceae) are mostly distributed in the north and west of Iran with about 10 endemic species. In the present investigation, microscopic characterization of some Phlomis species including Phlomis bruguieri, Phlomis rigida, Phlomis kurdica, and Phl...

The essential oil was isolated from the aerial parts of Phlomis bracteosa Royle ex Benth., a hairy erect herb. The leaves and flowers of this species are used as carminative, stimulant and locally known as ‘Ballikotu, Calba, Salba’ in Turkish traditional medicine. The antimicrobial activity of Phlomis bracteosa was studied using well diffusion method. The activity was tested against human patho...

Phlomis lanceolata is a medicinal plant that has long been used to treat various conditions such as diabetes, gastric ulcer, hemorrhoids, inflammation and wounds. As most of Phlomis species have shown cytotoxic activity against proliferation of different cell lines, a biological investigation of P. lanceolata was carried out in this study. The aim of this study was to find out the in vitro cyto...

The Phlomis bracteosa oil constituents of methyl ester derivatives of fatty acids were analyzed using Gas Chromatography coupled to mass spectrometer. The results obtained containing the saturated as well as unsaturated fatty acids of P. bracteosa oils. A total of 18 different components were identified and quantified. Methyl ester of octadecadienoic acid was found in high concentration 6.88 %,...
