Abstract :
Five Saudi ARrAyhan (O. basilicum L.)
accessions were studied to establish a possible
relationship between them through their morphological
characteristics and essential oil composition. The
morphological parameters were recorded at the
beginning of the flowering stage and the essential oils,
obtained by hydrodistillation, were analyzed by gas
chromatography (GC) and GC/mass spectrometry
(GC/MS). Among the ARrAyhan (O. basilicum L.)
accessions , three phenotypes were distinguished on the
basis of leaf shape, area, and plant height, weight and
branching. The Saudi accession varied in their proximal
content as well as their mineral content. As for the
composition of the essential oils, Linaloo
