Abstract
Lunularia cruciate belonges to Lunulariaceae.It is small thalloid plant growing on the dump soils. Since the species is easy recognizable by the semi Lunularia cruciata gemma cups.Plant material  harvested  in three hight  and sexual & asexual gemmae in Ramsar city.For the manufacture of the extracts from the plants, extraction with etanol absolute and soxhlet.The separation of the components was achieved by gas chromatography and the identification of each compound was made by their mass spectrometry. It is known that the pattern of terpenoids ,saturated  and  unsaturated fatty acid in the Lunularia cruciata. The results of variance analysis on the palmitic acid, tetradecanoic acid, tetradecane, phytol,giberllic acid and neophytadiene showed that the hight changes on the these metabolits whith out palmitic acid significant at 1%level probability and these metabolits without phytol significant at 1%level probability in sexual and asexual gemmae.
