Indian or ’Cochin’ lemon grass oil, the principal lemon grass oil of commerce, is from C. flexuosos which is indigenous to India, and the so-called ’West Indian’ oil is from C. citratus which is widely cultivated in India, Guatemala, Haiti, East and West Africa, and other tropical countries. The Indian oil is a reddish-yellow or brownish-red mobile liquid with a very stong verbana-like odour, while the ’West Indian’ oil is pale yellow to yellowish-brown and has an odour similar to but somewhat lighter in character than that of the indian oil. 2, record 13, English, - lemongrass%20oil
