Lallemantia royleana

Phytochemistry Forty-six compounds were detected in the essential oil from the aboveground parts of Lallemantia royleana. Among them, verbenone and trans-carveo were found to be the major components of the oil (Ghannadi and Zolfaghari 2003). Plants collected in the Toshkent region contained traces of essential oils. The seeds of another related species, Lallemantia iberica, contain 27-35 % semi-drying oil. This oil is used for industrial purposes, as a food, and to produce soap (Ogolevitz 1951).
