Abstract Micromorphology and distribution of trichomes in different plant parts ofTeucrium marum andTeucrium subspinosum from Sardinia and the Balearic Islands are described. The composition of volatile compounds in the same plants has also been studied. The occurrence in Sardinia of two differentT. marum entities is evidenced. One of them, growing in the NW. part of the island, is very similar toT. marum from Minorca.T. subspinosum from Sardinia and Majorca differ for the presence in the last one of short capitate hairs and for a higher ratio of dolichodial/teucrein. While the degree of variability of all the characters is very high, there is a good homogeneity between all the taxa, due to the presence of monoterpene cyclopentanoids not found until now in other species.
