Abstract
The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from endemic Centaurea paphlagonica (Asteraceae) in Plumosipappus (Czerep.)

Main constituents of the oil were found as hexadecanoic acid (28.9 %), dodecanoic acid (22.8%)
and caryophyllene oxide (9.2 %). Fatty acids were identified as the main constituent groups of the species.
