ABSTRACT: The Aim of the Present Study Was to Evaluate the Yield, Chemical Constituents and Determine the Chemotype of the Essential Oil Obtained from Different Rosemary Plants Growing in Different Accessions of Rosemary Fields. About four Plant Samples Were Analyzed for Essential Oil Yield and the Essential Oil Yield Varied from 0.88% To 1.2%. the Essential Oil Samples Were Further Analyzed by Gas Chromatography (GC) for the Purpose of Identification of Chemical Constituents Present in Them. It Was Contended from the Results That the Selected Plants Differed from Each Other in Terms of Chemical Constituents.Camphor Content Was Foundin Higher Amount in All the Foursamples, Thus it Could Be Inferred That the Plants Are Camphor Chemotype.

KEYWORDS: Rosemary; Essential oil; Camphor; Gas Chromatography; Terpenoids
