Abstract The work evaluates the yield and the composition of the essential oil extracted from leafy and woody branches, cones, and seeds of a cultivated stand of Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) Masters (Cupressaceae) growing in Malta. The main components were Î±-pinene, limonene, camphor, bornyl acetate, borneol and germacrene D. Our results show a number of differences in composition to a Moroccan study of the essential oil derived from homologous parts.
