        The aim of this study is an investigation of most important ecological requirements, essential oil composition, total phenol, flavonoid and antioxidant activity of Phlomis herba-venti in HezarJerib area of Behshahr, Mazandaran province. Along with the review of floristic list of species in the study area, the most important of ecological requirements, their Ethno pharmacology and phenology were recorded and studied. The aerial parts of plant in blooming were collected in June 2015 from Hezarjerib area ( 1000- 2000 m) . Five soil samples were taken to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of soil. Essential oil was obtained by water distillation method (Clevenger apparatus) and were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The ethanol extracts were obtained by percolation method. Total phenol (TP) and total flavonoids (TF) were measured by spectrophotometery and antioxidant activity was measured by scavenging free radicals of DPPH. Results were showed that the  Phlomis herba-venti  usually was grew wild in 2000 m region with average annual rainfall 383 mm, the average annual temperature 12.44 Co, organic matter percentage 5.06%, pH 7.53, EC 0.62 in and sandy loam soil . The plant vegetative growth in early May, flowers appeared in June and fruit disperse in late of September. Biological spectrum was showed that 47 genus and 55 species were grew wild in this region and the Phlomis herba-venti has been used as anti inflammation and anti infection in traditional medicine of this region. Germacrene-D (54.47%) and caryophyllene (15.81%) were the main essential oil component of this plant. Total phenol content (120.40 mg GAE g 01 DW) and total flavonoids content (3.2 mg QUE g 01 DW) were reported and the antioxidant activity were determined with IC50=3.9 ppm. So these results were confirmed the traditional uses of this plant in this area as an anti inflammation and anti infection. Manuscript profile

        This study was in order to investigation of morphological, ecological requirement, phenology, ethnopharmacological information and phytochemical of Ziziphora clinopodioides Lam. in northern Khorasan province (Bovanlou -1728 m), randomly. In many field observation, the important ecological , phonological parameters and the ethnopharmacological data were  recorded . The aerial parts of plant in blooming were collected in July, 2013 and dried.  The hydro alcoholic extract was obtained by maceration method. The amounts of total phenols and flavonoids were determined in three replicates by using the Folin–Ciocalteu and aluminum chloride colorimetric methods, respectively. The result were showed that the plant vegetative growth occurs in May, followed by flowering in the late June till the end of December. The seeds ripening is achieved during the late November. Based on a floristic study, 30 plant species from 29 genera were identified  belonging to 17 families. The richest families were Asteraceae with 6 species (20%) and Lamiaceae with 4 species (13%), respectively. The highest proportion of life forms belonged to therophytes (43%) and geophytes (27%), respectively. Likewise, the highest proportion of chorotypes belonged mediterranean elements (40%), followed by to Irano-Touranian elements (36%). The ethnopharmacological survey were showed that it has been used traditionally as antiseptic and stimulating to treat of gastric ailments, fever few, common cold and digestive discomfort. According to results, TF and TP content of plant were 21.2 ± 0.19 mg QUE g-1 DW and 91 ± 0.06 mg GAE g-1 DW respectively.   Manuscript profile
