Abstract Aims: Planting Spartium junceum L. has increased immensely in urban areas due to its aromatic petals. Since the petals and stamens in aromatic plants are of important herbal allergenic agents, the aim of this study was to investigate the allergenicity of petal and stamen at old ontogenical staged Spartium junceum L. in Guinea pig. Materials & Methods: In this experimental study, 21 male Hartley Guinea pigs were randomly divided into three groups including 7 animals. To the first group buffered phosphate saline, second group old petal extract and the third group petal and stamen extract were injected. The extracts were prepared with 16% concentration. The injections were continued within 4 weeks, once per week intraperitoneally and in the fifth week subcutaneous injection was performed. A week after the last injection blood sampling was done from the heart of animals and the number of Eosinophils, Immunoglobulin E and blood sugar levels were measured. To data analysis SPSS 16 software, ANOVA and dependent T tests were used. Findings: In skin‌‌‌‌ test wheal diameter in both groups treated with Spartium junceum L. significantly increased compared to control group (p<0.001). Blood sugar in groups treated with petal and stamen showed significant increase in comparison with control group (p<0.05). In electrophoretic profiles 3 protein bands was observed in the range of 46 to 85kD in both treated groups which these bands were much more colorful in petal and stamen group. Conclusion: Allergenicity of petal with stamen of Spartium junceum L. at old ontogenical stage is more than petal.
