Abstract

One of the species of Salvia genus which belongs to Lamiaceae family is Salvia santolinifolia Boiss. In this study, four natural habitats including Abmah, Ghotbabad, Dorahi-Meymand and Sirmand from Hormozgan province, which had significant differences in terms of topography and climate, were selected for sampling with random-systematic method. In each plot such traits as: identification and introduction of companion plants, different phenological stages and soil sampling were evaluated to determine physical and chemical characteristics. For essential oil extraction, the aerial parts of this plant were collected at full flowering stage from each plot. To determine the relationship between some ecological characteristics and essential oil yield trait, Pearson correlation coefficient took place. The results revealed that S. santolinifolia was distributed in Hormozgan province in the range of altitude 760-1210 meters above the sea level and on slopes of zero to 20% and with an average rainfall of 153 mm in relatively light soils. Simple correlation coefficient between essential oil yield and some ecological traits showed that the mean annual temperature, sea level, phosphorus percentage and silt percentage had a positive and significant relationship on essential oil yield of different S. santolinifolia ecotypes.
