A good example of a plant with many chemotypes is '' Thymus Vulgaris ''. While largely indistinguishable in appearance, specimens of ''T. vulgaris'' may be assigned to one of six different chemotypes, depending on whether the primary component of the Essential Oil is Thymol , Carvacrol , Linalool , Geraniol , Thujanol -4 or Terpineol . Such chemotypes may be indicated as ''Thymus vulgaris'' ct. thymol (red thyme), or ''Thymus vulgaris'' ct. geraniol (sweet thyme), etc. Such an indication has no taxonomic standing, also see Ecotype . |
