Turpentines of Pinus halepensis from Israel and P. brutia from Cyprus were analyzed. Turpentine of the former was found to be strongly dextrorotatory; turpentine of the latter was found to be decidedly laevorotatory. This was in accord with previous findings. Chemical analysis of turpentines of both pines indicated that P. halepensis may be characterized by the absence of B-pinene and d-carene; P. brutia may be characterized by the presence of these two terpenes. P. pithyusa, which is closely related to P. brutia, also contains large amounts of d-carene in its turpentine.
