Along with the growing scientific interest in aromatic and medicinal plant species, with the development of investigations in this field and as a result of important discoveries made by scientists who have carried out botanical, biochemical, bio-ecological, pharmacological and clinical research, phytotherapy, aromatherapy and phytocosmetics have arisen issues of topical interestfor specialists and ordinary people. Aromatic plants are those species that accumulate essential oils, produced in the protoplasm of plant cells as secondary metabolites. Essential oils have various uses: in food, phytotherapy, aromatherapy, phytocosmetics, gastronomy and in ecological plant protection.From a therapeutic point of view, the most characteristic properties of essential oils are their antifungal, antimicrobial and antiviral activities [1]. Some precious plants are not found in the native flora of the given region, but are brought from other areas and they adapt to the local conditions and are successfully researched, and then cultivated.Of particular interest to the Republic of Moldova are the aromatic plants that have passed the period of acclimatization, adaptation and testing and have been identified as promising species for implementation and use in various sectors of the national economy [6]. This article also fits in this context, aiming at presenting a complex study on a promising species for Moldova, Elsholtzia stauntonii Benth., which has been introduced and researched in the NBGI since 2014, where it grows as a perennial, herbaceous plant.The plants were obtained from seeds, received by the international exchange of seeds from the Botanical Garden of Latvia, and were subsequently researched to determine the biological features of their development and to determine the essential oil content, to establish the optimal propagation methods, to develop primary cultivation techniques and to research the chemical composition of the essential oil.
