The cajuput plant is one of the most potential tree species for land rehabilitation activities, benefiting both from ecological and economic aspects. Studies on the lesser-known species of undeveloped cajuput trees are important to investigate the prospects for their development. The research aimed to discover species distribution and chemical compounds of cajuput tree leaves of Melaleuca acacioides in Wasur National Park, Papua, Indonesia. The species distribution study was conducted by observation method in the field and literature review. Chemical compounds were analyzed using Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS). The results showed that M. acacioides had a small distribution and population, presented among other Melaleuca and Asteromyrtus genera used by the local community. Analysis result with GC-MS shows that M. acacioides species have peak numbers of 12 chemical compounds. The chemical compound with the highest intensity of M. acacioides is Beta.-Selinene (30.48%) and Alpha-selinene (27,56%). Even though 1,8-cineol, the main component of cajuput tree species, was not found, the presented chemical compound of M. Acacioides essential oil has potency as an antioxidant and antibacterial agent.
