citriodora, Kunth. ; Sweet Verbena ; sh. ; Peru. A.B. 



This shrub yields a fragrant oil, like the verbena oil of the perfumers, which is obtained from 

 the Lemon-grass (Andropogon schoenanthus, Linn.) A leaf or so of this shrub is often used to give 

 its flavour to tea, and in some parts of Europe where this custom is followed high medicinal virtues 

 are ascribed to its use.
