The chemical composition of the volatile concentrates of different cultivars ofLimonium latifoliaKuntze,L.xaltaicaRoh andL. pereziiHubb (Plumbaginaceae family) were studied by GC and GC/MS. The high content of carbonyl compounds such as nonanal, that in Violet cultivar represented 9.8%, phenylacetaldehyde (2.7%) and decanal (1.5%) must be pointed out. Some of the carbonyl compounds found in the aromatic profile arose from the lipoxygenase activity on the disrupted tissues. The presence of hydrocarbons such as heneicosane (C21), docosane (C22), tricosane (C23), tetracosane (C24), heptacosane (C27), octacosane (C28) was also highlighted
