Sažetak
Based on field research, an analysis of the ecology of the species Dalmatocytisus dalmaticum (Vis.) Trinajstić was conducted, and the collected plant material was subjected to phytochemical analysis. As a stenoendemic species, this plant is found only near the town of Sinj on the hills Poljakova greda, Šušnjevača and Medinjak. It grows in the composition of sub-Mediterranean dry grasslands of the class Festuco-Brometea Br.-Bl. & R.Tx. 1943, on which it forms carpet-like coverings. On Mount Greda it creates larger stands on shallow carbonate mud soils and it reproduces by creeping underground stems and to a lesser extent by seeds. Recently, the number of habitats of D. dalmaticum has been decreasing, due to afforestation with black pines and the succession from rocky grasslands to thickets. Isolation of essential oil from fresh plant material collected in 2021, was performed by water distillation in a modified Clevenger apparatus. Obtained oil sample was analyzed by GC/MS analysis. A total of 60 compounds were identified, accounting for 88.06% of the total oil. The major groups of compounds were monoterpene hydrocarbons (3.22%), oxygenated monoterpenes (5.12%), sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (4.54%), oxygenated sesquiterpenes (9.89%), diterpene alcohols (9.09%), carbonyl compounds (22.93%), and other compounds (29.84%). The most abundant compounds of each group in the extract are α-pinene, (E)-damascenone, (Z)-caryophyllene, hexahydrofarnesyl acetone, 4-vinylphenol, pentacosane, phytol, and palmitic acid. Some of the compounds mentioned are known to have cytotoxic, anticancer, antibacterial, and antiviral properties, suggesting the possibility of further research on this species.
