Essential oils extracted by steam extraction were analysed by GC and GC‐MS. Most of the populations corresponded to a carvacrol chemotype. We show in Origanum syriacum var. bevanii and O. syriacum var. syriacum the existence of thymol, thymol‐carvacrol and carvacrol‐thymol chemotypes not hitherto described in these species.
