The purpose of this investigation was to analyza the chemical composition of the aerial parts of T. khorassanicum, an Iranian native plant. Water- distilled essential oil of T. khorassanicum (Krasch.) Parsa (Composirae) was examined by GC and GC/MS. Thirteen constituents representing 90% of the oil, were characterized of which Myroxide (19.80%), Comphor (16.40%), Isopulegone (13.42%), 1,8- Cineol (11.41%), Borneol (8.31%) and Geraniol (7.9%) were the main compounds identified.
