Profile -
Citronella - this is
a tall, aromatic, perennial grass, which has derived from the wild-
growing "managrass" found in India. This grass is a coarse,
clump-forming tropical grass that can grow 5-6 ft (1.5-1.8 m) tall. The
stems are cane like and the leaves are grayish green, flat, about 3 ft
(0.9 m) long and 1 in (2.5 cm) or so wide. It does not spread by
runners, as some grasses do, but the clump increases in size as the
plant matures. It is native to Southeast Asia and grown commercially in
Sri Lanka, India, Burma, Indonesia and Java. It is widely naturalized in
tropical Asia and grown as an ornamental in South Florida and southern
California. The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the
fresh, partly-dried, or dried grass.
