The essential oils isolated from fresh aerial parts of Ballotamacedonica (two populations) and Ballotanigra ssp. foetida were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Eighty five components were identified in total; 60 components in B.macedonica oil (population from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), 34 components in B.macedonica oil (population from the Republic of Serbia), and 33 components in the oil of B.nigra ssp. foetida accounting for 93.9%, 98.4%, and 95.8% of the total oils, respectively. The most abundant components in B.macedonica oils were carotol (13.7-52.1%), germacrene D (8.6-24.6%), and (E)-caryophyllene (6.5-16.5%), while B.nigra ssp. foetida oil was dominated by (E)-phytol (56.9%), germacrene D (10.0%), and (E)-caryophyllene (4.7%). Multivariate statistical analyses (agglomerative hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis) were used to compare and discuss relationships among Ballota species examined so far based on their volatile profiles. The chemical compositions of B.macedonica essential oils are reported for the first time.
