Plants are the main source with therapeutic significance from thousands of years. Ethanol extract of T. divaricata leaf (double flower variety) was evaluated by Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry. The mass spectra of the unknown compounds found in the extract was matched with the known components of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. GC-MS analysis exposed the presence of 9 compounds. From the GC-MS analysis, the phytocomponents such as 3,7,11,15- Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol, Lactose, n-Hexadecanoic acid, Phytol, 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z), Squalene, Cedrol, Vitamin E and Urs-12-en-24-oic acid, 3-oxo-, methyl ester, (+)- were screened. The compounds were identified by comparing their retention time and peak area with that of literature and by interpretation of mass spectra. Many of them used for several purposes like antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, pesticide and cancer preventive.
