Sideritis phlomoides Boiss. & Bal., S. vulcanica Hub.‐Mor., S. vuralii Duman & Bas¸er and S. caesarea Duman, Aytaç & Bas¸er are endemic species in Turkey. Water‐distilled essential oils from the flowering spike of these plants were analysed by GC–MS. β‐Pinene (35%), 1,8‐cineole (15%) and α‐pinene (15%) were the main components in the oil of S. vuralii , while β‐caryophyllene (8%) and caryophyllene oxide (7%) were the major constituents in the oil of S. caesarea . The oils from S. phlomoides and S. vulcanica were found to contain β‐caryophyllene (31% and 10%) as major constituents. α‐Bisabolol (16%) was also found as a major component in the oil of Sideritis phlomoides .
