The leaf essential oils of Juniperus phoenicea L. (Greece and Spain), J. phoenicea subsp. eu-mediterranea Lebr. & Thiv. and J. phoenicea var. turbinata (Guss.) have been analyzed by GC/MS. All of the oils were dominated by alpha-pinene. Juniperus phoenicea also contained moderate amounts of myrcene, limonene, beta-phellandrene, alpha-terpinyl acetate and 1-epi-cubenol. The oils of J. phoenicea var. turbinata (coastal Spain) and J. phoenicea subsp. eu-mediterranea (coastal Portugal) are most similar of the four taxa and distinct from typical inland J. phoenicea. These taxa may be conspecific and, if so, then the name J. phoenicea var. turbinata would take precedence for the divergent taxon.
