The essential oil obtained by steam distillation of aerial parts of Pulicaria undulata (Asteraceae) was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. 31 compounds were determined among which oxygenated terpenoids represented 74.3% while the non oxygenated fraction represented 22.7%. The major components were carvotanacetone (14.8%), δ-cadinene (8.2%), α-cadinol (4.7%) and thujanol (4.7%). These results differ from the few previous studies reported on this species.
