General - Lavender the stems, growing 1 or 2 feet high, are gray-green and angular, with flaking bark. The gray-green leaves are opposite, sessile, downy, and lanceolate
to oblong-linear. The lilac-colored, tubular flowers are arranged in successive
whorls up the stem. The fragrant oil to which the odor of lavender flowers is
due is a valuable article of commerce, much used in perfumery, and to a lesser
extent in medicine. The fine aromatic smell is found in all parts of the shrub,
but the essential oil is only produced from the flowers and flower-stalks.
Besides being grown for the production of this oil, lavender is widely sold in
the fresh state as 'bunched lavender,' and as 'dried lavender,' the flowers are
used powdered, for sachet making and also for potpourri, etc.
