Summary:The genus Eryngium L. (Apiaceae) with about 250 species is distributed all over the world. In Europe 26 species belong to this genus, while in Serbia five species are described: E. amethystinum L., E. planum L., E. campestre L., E. serbicum Pancic, and E. palmatum Pancic & Vis. [1,2]. Species of this genus are used in traditional medicine for reproductive problems, against various inflammatory disorders, edema, sinusitis, and snake or scorpion bite [3]. Eryngium palmatum is a Balkan endemic species [1,2]. Capetanos et al. obtained sesquicineole (21.3%), caryophyllene oxide (16.0%), spathulenol (16.0%), and sabinene (5.5%) as the main components in the essential oil of aerial parts of this plant [4]. The root essential oil of this endemic species and its antimicrobial activity were not previously investigated.
