Pharmaceutically botanical and phytochemical studies on lavandula angustifolia mill. (Lamiaceae) species cultured in turkey

L. angustifolia Mill. (Lamiaceae), which is called the Medical Lavender in Anatolia, grows mostly in the Mediterranean region in our country but it is cultivated in many parts of our country. L. angustifolia Mill. Morphological, morphometric properties, phytochemical components and ratios, microbiological activity and anatomical structure of the cultures of the species were given for the first time in this study. Microbiological and phytochemical analysis of essential oils were made and a comparison was made with the commercially available lavender oil. In this study, the effects of soil structure, altitude and humidity on the plant structure and volatile oil of the variable structures on the species were investigated. The findings are compared with the description of Davis in "Flora of Turkey". In addition, morphological and anatomical structure of the species was supported with photographs and drawings.
