The chemical composition of essential oils of two species of Lavendula—Lavendula stoechas and L. angustifolia—from India was investigated by gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The essential oil yield from the flowering spikes were 0.86% in L. stoechas and 1.56% in L. angustifolia. Twenty-five components amounting to 96.7% of the oil were identified in L. stoechas, and 31 compounds were identified in L. angustifolia, representing 91.7% of the oil. The major compounds present in the oil of L. stoechas were camphor (52.1%), fenchone (12.0%), 1,8-cineole (9.7%), bornyl acetate (6.2%), camphene (3.3%), α-pinene (1.1%), and terpinen-4-ol (0.6%), and the oil of L. angustifolia exhibited linalool (23.6%), linalyl acetate (35.8%), α-terpinole (6.3%), lavendulyl acetate (4.8%), 1,8-cineole (1.5%), terpinen-4-ol (2.0%), β-caryophyllene (1.8%), camphor (1.4%), and borneol (1.4%). Results showed that the essential oils of these Lavendula sp. were rich in oxygenated monoterpenes ranging from 86.3 % in L. stoechas to 82.6% in L. angustifolia and can be exploited for various applications.
