The leaf essential oils of the seven endemic New Caledonian species of the genus Melaleuca have been examined. Melaleuca sphaerodendra var. microphylla and Melaleuca brevisepala produced oils in which β-caryophyllene (28.8% and 26.8% respectively) was the principal component. α-Pinene (24.8%) and β-caryophyllene (14.1%) were the principal compounds detected in the leaf oil of Melaleuca pancheri. Melaleuca brongniartii produced an oil in which the principal monoterpenes were γ-pinene (23.3%), β-pinene (10.3%) and limonene (19.8%). γ-Terpinene (15.2%), p-cymene (12.8%) and terpinolene (17.5%) were the major components in the leaf essential oil of Melaleuca buseana, whereas the leaf oil of Melaleuca dawsonii contained a-pinene (12.8%) and α-phellandrene (10.3%) as principal components. In Melaleuca gnidioides α-pinene (23.6%), β-pinene (13.6%) and spathulenol (14.7%) were the major components. All of these oils differed from the leaf oil of Melaleuca quinquenervia, an indigenous New Caledonian species also found in Australia and New Guinea. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
