Citronella cymbopogon nardus
Country of Origin: Sri Lanka
Botanical Name: Cymbopogon Nardus
Many cultures value the medicinal use of the Citronella leaves for stimulation and insect repellents. It is fresh, powerful, lemony in scent and yellowish-brown in colour. It is also a refreshing and clarifying oil.
Citronella comes in two main types - Java and Ceylon. We have introduced an oil from Sri Lanka, which is the only source of the Ceylon type, produced from the Lenabatu variety of citronella grass. Java-type is produced in many countries other than Indonesia, in particular China.
Plant Family: Poaceae (Gramineae)
Method of Extraction: The oil is steam distilled from the dried or partly dried grass.
Citronella grass grows up to 1.5 meters in height.
