We analyzed water-distilled essential oil of Origanum bastetanum, an endemic species in Spain, by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Twenty-five components were characterized; cis-4-thujanol (30.9%), gamma-terpinene (15.6%), thymol (12.0%), p-cymene (9.9%), 1-terpinen-4-ol (5.9%) and linalyl acetate (3.7%) were identified as major constituents. We also studied the essential oil of micropropagated O. bastetanum and the results were compared with those from wild plants. Micropropagated plants can be used to repopulate original localizations and other areas of south east Spain.
