ABSTRACT The chemical composition of the essential oil of the leaves of Cistus creticus L., (Fam. Cistaceae), was investigated by GC/MS. Among the 49 components identified, (representing 76.56% of the oil composition) diterpenes (59.59%) predominated. The major components were manoyl oxide (19.61%) and 13-epi-manoyl oxide (13.44%). The oil of C. creticus was found to exhibit a strong antibacterial activity against Gram + bacteria.
