The composition of fifteen leaf oil samples from individual plants of Cleistopholis glauca Pierre ex Engler & Diels growing wild in Côte d’Ivoire was investigated by gas chromatography (in combination with retention indices) and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR). Thirty-three compounds accounting for 88.8 to 95.4% of the oil have been identified. Cleistopholis glauca produces a sesquiterpene-rich oil, germacrene D (16.4–46.5%) and (E)-β-caryophyllene (8.0–26.2%) being the main components. In a few samples, monoterpene hydrocarbons were present as appreciable contents: myrcene (up to 39.7%), β-pinene (up to 24.8%) and α-pinene (up to 16.4%).
