Abstract：
The genus Stachys L. (Lamiaceae) comprises more than 300 species as annual or perennial herbs or small shrubs, spread in temperate regions of Mediterranean, Asia, America, and Southern Africa and several species have been used in the traditional medicine of many countries. Section Stachys, one of nineteen sections of genus Stachys, is divided in two subsections: Sylvaticae and Circinatae. In the present study the chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of Stachys durandiana Coss., endemic of Morocco, and belonging to subsection Circinatae, was analysed by GC-MS. No report has been previously published on this species. The result showed the presence of large quantity of monoterpene hydrocarbons (73.3%), being α-pinene (38.0%) β-pinene (14.8%), and limonene (11.1%) the principal constituents. Furthermore, a complete review on the chemical composition and biological properties of all the other Stachys taxa, belonging to section Stachys, studied so far, was carried out.
摘要：
StachysL.（唇科）属包括300多种一年生或多年生草本植物或小灌木，在地中海的温带地区传播，亚洲,美国,和南部非洲和一些物种已被用于许多国家的传统医学。Stachys节,Stachys属的19个部分之一，分为两个小节：Sylvaticae和Circinatae。在本研究中，来自StachysdurandianaCoss地上部分的精油的化学成分。,摩洛哥特有的属于Circinatae小节，用GC-MS分析。以前没有关于该物种的报告。结果表明存在大量的单萜烃(73.3%),α-pine烯（38.0％）β-pine烯（14.8％），和柠檬烯（11.1％）的主要成分。此外，对所有其他Stachys分类群的化学成分和生物学特性进行了全面审查，属于Stachys部门,到目前为止研究过，进行了。
