In this investigation, 10 important essential species of Hormozgan province from Labiatae family was studied.These species were Lavandula stricta,Mentha mozaffariani, Salvia aegyptiaca, S. mirzayanii, S. santolinifolia,S. sharifii,Teucrium pollium, T. stocksianum, Zataria multiflora and Zhumeria majdae. With regard to source, search, inform persons and travelling to the various parts were determined ecological factors as: Habitate characteristics,local name, persian name, altitude, climate, rainfall, temperature, distributed regions, form, slope, campanion plants, soil texture, pH, EC, major compounds and traditional cure uses. Most of species were bushes. Used organ of them was leaf that used for digestive cures, romatism, fever,headache, cold, pain and wound. The major compounds of these plants were limonene, linalool and their derivatives that caused nice odour and tranquillizing properties. These plants located in mountainous regions, but some of them located in plains and hills. Altitude domain of habitates was varied between 10 to 2100 m. Soil texture of habitates was sandy-loam and loam with pH= 7.32 - 8.5 and EC= 0.130-1.357 mm/cm. Climates of speciesdistribution regions were hot and extradry, hot and semidry, hot and semidry deserty and hot and dry deserty. Average temperature was 17.5-27.5 average rainfall was 150-350 mm, although for more than species was 150-200mm. The habitate of species was sloppy rock with very low soil andtracks between rocks. Distribution of these species was very limited and thus formed.

Achillea millefolium L. subsp. millefolium is one of the valuable medicinal plants, belongs to Asteraceae family. This plant mainly grows in plaines, roadsides and mountainous regions. It is wound healer and because of having tannins, bitter and aromatic materials affects on the nervous system and heart. Recent researches show that it has anti-cancer property. For sampling, this plant was selected from 2 height location with definite distance (100 meter) in Siahbisheh at full flowering stage in July 2007. The samples of inflorescences and leaves of plants and sample of soil of the root place were collected from 3 random points of each hieght at lenght of one transect (100 meter). Then air dried parts of the plants (80 gr) subjected to hydrodistillation for 2h using a Clevenger-type apparatus and essential oils analyzed by GC and GC/MC. There is no significant difference between the flower oil yields of Achillea millefolium subsp. millefolium in 2 height, while there is significant difference between the oil yields of leaves (p<0.01) and the highest percentage of leaf oil (0.1%) belong to 2100m. Study of relation among soil characters and height to these quantity show that there is relationship between nitrogen of the soil and this quantity that has negative correlation. Major components of flower oils were 1,8-cineole (14.4% and 8.2%), cis-cadin-4-en-7-ol (4.6% and 15%), E-caryophyllene (5.5% and 4.8%), -γmuurolene (4/4% and 5.2%), camphor (2.6% and 4.1%), eudesma-4(15), 7-dien-1-β-ol (3.7% and 6.4%) in 2100 m and 2200 m, respectively. The main components of leaf oils were 1,8-cineole (5.6% and 4.7%), globulol (7.6% and 8.7%), E-caryophyllene (5% and 3.2%), cis-cadin-4-en-7-ol (25.5% and 0.4%) E-sesqui lavandulol (2.3% and 12.8%) and E-sesquilavandulyl acetate (2.4% and 8.1%) at 2100 m and 2200 m, respectively.

This research was conducted for identification of essential oil of Labiatae spesies and investigation of ecological characteristics of their habitates in Kerman province.The Labiatae is very important in production of essential oil. Ecological characteristics are required for cultivation of natural and self growing plants of this family. Kerman province is about 186423 km3 in area and placed in southeast of Iran. Lowest and highest altitude in this province is 300m to 4500m a.s.l. and more than 10 kinds of climates are found in this area. 51 essential oil species belong to 17 genera. They are collected and identified by Flora. Many ecological characteristics of habitat are recorded as soil texture, rainfall, temperature, altitude, life form. More species belong to Nepeta and Salvia genera; chamaephyte and terophyte life formes; semiarid-cold, semiarid-warm and arid desert-cold; 2000-3000 altitude. Ziziphora tenuir L., Teucrium polium L., Nepeta glomerulosa Boiss. and Mentha longifolia (L.) Hudson are the most dispersed species in variety of climates, that indicates more ecological compitability of these species in different habitats.
