Abstract
The genus Grammosciadium DC. (Apiaceae) consists of three species in Flora of Iran. Generally, they are located in temperate or temperate–cold pasturelands and are considered to be attractive animal foods. The aerial parts of Grammosciadium scabridium in fruiting stage were collected from southwest mountains of Khoram-Abad in Lorestan province, Iran. Collected plant materials were dried in shade and were hydro distillated using a Clevenger apparatus. The oil was analyzed by capillary GC and GC/MS. The anatomical studies were carried out using double staining method with brown bismark and methyl green. GC and GC/MS analysis of the essential oil resulted in the identification of 36 compounds, representing 89.3% the total oil. Major constituents of the oil were 2- Cyclohexen- 1- one (29.53%), limonene (17.09%), apiol (11.78%), hexadecanoic acid (5.62%), spathulenol (3.24%). The anatomical studies showed that the stem is nineangled and 40-44 secretory canals were found in the corterx and pith.
