Abstract: 

The study was conducted during 2019-2020onessentialoilofThymus spp. spread in Lattakia’s forestry to three species of Thymusspp.whichwereThymuscapitatus Hoff. ( SnobarJableh), Thymus syriacusBioss (Solas, Kasab) and Thymus cilicicusBioss ( Al-Dalia) by using Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry GC-MStoanalyzecomponents of essential oil and the results were analyzed by using MSTATThe result of the essential oil analysis showed T.capitatus H. in SnobarJableh zone exceeded by the proportion of essential oil (1.15%) and least was in T.cilicicus H. in Al-Dalia (0.55%), while carvacrol outperformed the rest of the compounds by an average (37.63%).
