From Ornamental Value to Antioxidant Activity: Comparative Phytochemistry of Lavandula Species and Cultivars.

ABSTRACT: Background:Lavandula (Lamiaceae) includes numerous species, cultivars, and hybrids widely cultivated for both their ornamental traits and for functional uses in perfumery, nutrition, medicinal, and cosmetic applications. Objectives: This study characterized the phytochemical profiles of three species (Lavandula stoechas L., Lavandula latifolia Medik., and Lavandula angustifolia Mill.), two cultivars (L. stoechas 'Alba' L. and L. angustifolia 'Krajova' Mill.), and the interspecific hybrid Lavandula × intermedia 'Alba' Emeric ex Loisel. Methods: All grown species and cultivars were maintained under uniform environmental and harvested simultaneously, to provide a comparative assessment of their terpene and polyphenol
