	COMPARATIVE MORPHOLOGICAL AND PHYTOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF *SALVIA CADMICA* AND S. SMYRNAEA** KEMAL HÜSNÜ CAN BAŞER¹, BETÜL DEMIRCI¹, MINE KÜRKÇÜOĞLU¹, FATIH SATIL^2* AND GÜLENDAM TÜMEN² Abstract: Salvia cadmica Boiss., and S. smyrnaea Boiss., (Lamiaceae) differ from each other by the colour of their corolla in that the former is white and the latter is violet-blue, and that calyx widens in fruit in the latter. Both species are characterized by having cryptone in their essential oils as major constituent. Both species are endemic to Turkey. The paper compares morphological and chemical features of the two species with a view to confirm their taxonomical status. ¹Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Anadolu University, 26470-Eskişehir, Turkey, ²Department of Biology, Faculty of Science & Arts, Balıkesir University, 10145 Balıkesir, Turkey.
