A new variety of Elsholtzia splendens (Lamiaceae) was found by the roadside of a mountain base at Jungmun-dong, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do. The new taxon is termed Elsholtzia splendens var. fasciflora N.S. Lee, M.S. Chung & C.S. Lee, var. nov. The Korean name 'Da-bal-kkot-hyang-yu' was given. The morphological characters and illustrations of the species based on the holotype are provided together with a photograph of the habitat. It is distinctly distinguished from Elsholtzia splendens var. splendens by a few characteristics: leaves that area 2-4 cm long, leaves beneath the inflorescence, typically mostly 4; and inflorescence mosyly 2-4, fascicled, involucres oval.

This study was conducted to investigate the chemical composition of essential oil, absolute and oleoresin isolated from Elsholtzia splendens and their biological activities. Yields of essential oil, absolute and oleoresin extracted from Elsholtzia splendens were 0.28%, 12.45% and 9.95%, respectively. The major component was 2-cyclohexen-1-one in essential oil, methyl linolenate in absolute and 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid in oleoresin. Essential oil and oleoresin showed the inhibitory activities in enzyme-dependent, enzyme-independent and autooxidative lipid peroxidation system. $EC_{50}$ values in nuetral red uptake (NRU) assays for the exposure times of 24 h were $46.4{\mu}g/ml$, $681.7{\mu}g/ml$ and $17.6{\mu}g/ml$ in essential oil, absolute and oleoresin, and oleoresins showed the cytotoxic effect at the only high dose. Any mutagenic and antibiotic activity did not show in absolute and oleoresin, but, there were mutagenic and antibiotic activities only when treated with essential oil $500{\mu}g/ml$ above in Ames test. Essential oil and oleoresin might be somewhat effective in prolongating the ciliostasis of rat trachea.

Volatile compounds, isolated from Elsholtzia splendens using simultaneous steam distillation extraction (SDE) and headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME), were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry(GC-MS). Twenty-nine compounds, comprising 3 aldehydes, 7 alcohols, 11 hydrocarbons, 5 ketones, and 3 miscellaneous ones, were tentatively identified from volatile compounds of Elsholtzia splendens flowers. From leaves, 30 compounds, comprising 3 aldehydes, 6 alcohols, 11 hydrocarbons, 6 ketones, and 11 miscellaneous ones, were tentatively identified. Volatile compounds extracted by HS-SPME in E. splendens flowers were 3 alcohols, 18 hydrocarbons, 3 ketones, and 2 miscellaneous ones. In leaves, 31 compounds, comprising 7 alcohols, 15 hydrocarbons, 7 ketones, and 2 miscellaneous ones, were tentatively identified. Major volatile compounds identified by SDE and HS-SPME were naginataketone and elsholtziaketone, which were identified as aroma-active compounds, representing characteristic aroma of E. splendens.

The leaves of Duchung(Eucommia ulmoides), an oriental medicinal plant, have a peculiar aroma of Chinese medicine and astringent taste, which make the consumer be reluctant to Duchung leaf tea. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a mild flavored Duchung leaf tea by mixing with other plants. The flavor patterns of developed tea were analyzed using an electronic nose. Polygonatum odoratum and Elsholtzia splendens were used for improving the flavor of Duchung leaf tea. The addition of 20, 30 and 40% of Polygonatum odoratum improved the overall acceptance in hedonic sensory evaluation. The flavor pattern of the tea was described by principal component analysis(PCA) and the resistance ratio(R/cub gas/R$\_$air/) of sensors. The PCA plot was also used to explain the mild flavor of the tea, which was extended from the right side(positive value of the first principal component) to the left side(negative value). Analysis by using an electronic nose with metal oxide sensors could be applied to detect whether mixed Duchung leaf tea was acceptable or not.

From 2006 to 2007, the stem rot of Elsholtzia splendens Nakai caused by Sclerotium rolfsii occurred sporadically in an herbs exhibition at Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services, Korea. The typical symptom is water-soaking, dark brown on the stem and rotting, wilting and blighting. The infected plants were mostly died. White mycelial mats were spread over lesions, and then sclerotia were formed on stems and near soil line. The sclerotia were globoid in shape, $1{\sim}3$ mm in size and white to brown in color. The optimum temperature and sclerotia on PDA was $30^{\circ}C$ and the hyphal width was $4{\sim}9{\mu}$. The typical clamp connections were observed in the hyphae of the fungus grown on PDA. On the basis of mycological characteristics and pathogenicity to host plants, this fungus was identified as Sclerotium rolfsii Saccardo. This is the first report on the stem rot of E. splendens caused by S. rolfsii in Korea.

Essential oil components were analysed in forty seven individual plants of Elsholtzia splendens collected from eight different regions in Korea to identify their chemotypes. Major oil components of chemotype 1 was dihydrotagentone (75%) and naginataketone and elsholtziaketone were not detected at all. Chemotype 2 was naginataketone (NK) type which content was more than 60%. Chemotype 3 had more than 60% of elsholtziaketone (EK) as major volatile oil. EK type and NK type plants selected were maintained stably in their progenies after seed generation. Naginatketone and elsholtziaketone had functional properties such as antioxidation and antibacteria.

This study was performed to develop extract materials from Elsholtzia splendens by analyzing the functionality and aroma profile by the simultaneous steam distillation extraction. The qualities of extracts such as total yield, total phenolic compound and electron donation ability were affected by extraction temperature than time. The main flavor compounds were analyzed as estragole, thymol and beta-caryophyllene. The response variables had significant with extraction temperature than tim. The established model was suitable to predict calculated value in experimental ranges. The optimum extinction conditions, which were limited of maximum value for dependent variables were $108^{\circ}C$ and 2.1 hr in the simultaneous steam distillation extraction method.
