Abstract: 

 The study was conducted in the years (2018-2019) in different geographical locations in Syria (15) sites,  between Hama Governorate (Al-Ghab) and Lattakia (Kasab), with the aim of studying some morphological and phenological parameters of the naturally spreading   Laurus nobilis L. The results showed the following:   – There are significant differences between the morphological characteristics of the individuals in the studied sites, where the individual (Kb7) taken from the Al-Nabain site (Kasab) was significantly superior to the rest of the individuals in the morphological characteristics related to the length of the leaf (10.34)(cm) , leaf  width (4.96)( cm), neck length (1.44) (cm), leaf weight (0.57) g, leaf surface area (33.12)(cm2) -There is no genetic dimension between the studied individuals that belong to different geographical locations, but rather they are genetically close to an acceptable extent, with a genetic affinity value estimated between (0.93-0.99.(
