Graminée de l'Inde, de la Réunion, des Philippines, du genre andropogon. Les tiges de vétiver sont nombreuses, unies, très droites, hautes de 1 à 3 m. On les utilise en différentes régions tropicales pour confectionner des nattes ou des ouvrages de vannerie. Les racines fournissent, par distillation à la vapeur, une huile essentielle aromatique à odeur forte et tenace, utilisée en parfumerie et en savonnerie. Très répandu sur la côte de Coromandel, à la Réunion, aux Antilles, aux Philippines, à Maurice, le vétiver est employé pour préserver les vêtements de laine et les fourrures des attaques des insectes. On se sert également de cette plante pour protéger contre l'érosion les sols en pente, les talus, les berges de canaux. 2, record 3, French, - v%C3%A9tiver
