In this study, thirty-six components (67.21% of total essential oil compositions) were characterized. Alkans (50.07%) and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (14.42%) were identified as the main fractions of the essential oil together with small amount of monoterpens (0.5 %). The most abundant constituents were n-undecane (30.84%), n-nonane (9.99%), n-tridecane (3.55 %) and B-funebrene (2.79 %).
