In order to contribute to the development of the Algerian flora and to identify new substances potentially interesting in the biological and therapeutic plans, we studied the phytochemical screening of Tetraclinis articulata leaves essential oil from the north-western region of Algeria. The study by GC-MS and GC-ID of the T. articulata essential oil leaves had identified forty compounds, representing 89.7 % of the total chemical composition of this oil. Camphor (19.6 %), bornyl acetate (18.7 %), germacrene D (7.6 %) and borneol (6.3 %) were the major constituents. Others were made present but in small quantities. And the phytochemical screening allowed us to report the presence of two chemicals families that are respectively: hydrocarbons terpenes represent 23.6 % of the essential oil and oxygenated terpenes representing 28.3 % of the essential oil.
