This study was carried out in order to determine the existence of Origanum acutidens
(Hand.-Mazz.) Ietswaart (endemically grown in turkey) and to reveal the morphological
parameters and volatile oil ratio of Origanum acutidens populations in Erzincan province.
For this purpose, field trips were organized to all districts within the borders of Erzincan
province between July 15 and August 15 and nine genotypes with different morphology
were determined from three districts with the presence of Origanum acutidens. Fresh herba
yield, dry herba yield, dry leaf yield, leaf stem ratio, side branch number, canopy diameter,
plant height, chlorophyll content and volatile oil ratios were determined in these genotypes.
There were found significant differences (p˂0.01) in all parameters except essential oil ratio
and morphological variation was determined as high among Origanum acutidens
populations in this province.
