Abstract
⺠30 populations of O. vulgare subsp. hirtum are shown to be different ecotypes. ⺠Higher essential oil concentrations occur in the more xeric and thermal environments. ⺠Production of essential oils has a cost to plants with respect to their growth. ⺠It is argued that essential oils helped plants endure drought and heat stresses.
