LSD: least significant difference (p = 0.05); LS: Lavandula species; DH: drying hours. Monoterpenes: 3-octanone, α-phellandrene, limonene, 1,8-cineole, (Z)-β-ocimene, and linalool. Oxygenated monoterpenes: isophorone, terpinen-4-ol, cryptone, linalyl propionate, linalyl acetate, lavandulyl acetate, and neryl acetate. Sesquiterpenes: caryophyllene and delta-cadinene. Oxygenated Sesquiterpenes: caryophyllene oxide.
