- Abstract
In this study aimed at comparing the content of volatile oils in the leaves of Pteridium aquilinum sub. aquilinum samples were taken from two natural habitats, on serpentinous soil and non-serpentinite mable in Lower Silesia, Poland. Biochemical analyses were performed on samples taken on 2 dates within the vegetative period. Extracts from the sampled leaves, were prepared in a Dering apparatus and were analysed using GC/MS. The voltaile oils qualitative composition was independent of the habitat type: the main constituent of all extracts was benzaldehyde whereas limonene, linalool, terpineol and cytral were represented in low quantities. The quantitative composition of the oils varied less between the sites at the beginning of the season but differences were greater by the end of it.
