Abstract
The genus Anthemis L., is the second largest in the Asteraceae family consists of more than 210 species. In this research, 5 populations of Anthemis wiedemanniana Fisch , et Mey., from 3 bioclimatic in West Azerbaijan at three phenological stages including vegetative, flowering and fruiting stages were harvested. Essential oil of aerial parts was extracted by water - distillation method (Clevenger apparatus) and was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The results showed that the highest oil content was obtained from Ghiz Galeh of Miandoab region at three phenological stages that were 0.7, 0.88 and 0.75 %, respectively. The lowest amount of essential oil content was obtained from Razhan region that were 0.43, 0.55 and 0.50 %, respectively. Also, analysis of results showed that plant essential oils have active ingredients of different quality and quantity at various growth stages and different habitats and accordingly will have different pharmaceutical uses.
