triloba contains no /3-pinene, and camphene, and S. officmalis is deprived of /^-chamigrene, thujol, and cadina-3,9-diene.
There are still other yolatile components, which remain unidentified in our experiment, yet they frequentJy appear in many investigated sagę species. For the sake of an example, compo-nent with the retention time equal to 26.01 min is present in fourteen Sałoia species, and its rela-tively highest levels are observed with S. azurea, S. pratensis, S. staminea, S. cadmica, and S. sclarea.

In our HS-CC-MS study, we obtained finger-print gas chromatograms of the yolatile fraction from 20 Safoia species most frequently grown in Poland. Seven yolatile compounds were identi-fied as characteristic of the prevailing mąjority of the investigated species. With four species, unique yolatile compounds were found, enabling them to act as their respective chemotaxonomic markers. With 13 species, certain yolatile compounds were identified, which (although not unique for these species) can be considered as their respective chemotaxonomic advice. With five species, an absence of the otherwise fre-quently occurring yolatile compounds was observed, which can be considered as a respec-tive chemotaxonomic advice, as well.
