Comparative Chemical Profiles and Phytotoxic Activity of Essential Oils of Two Ecospecies of <i>Pulicaria undulata</i> (L.) C.A.Mey

The Asteraceae (Compositae) family is one of the largest angiosperm families that has a large number of aromatic species. <i>Pulicaria undulata</i> is a well-known medicinal plant that is used in the treatment of various diseases due to its essential oil (EO). The EO of both Saudi and Eg...
