Lavender

Family: Lamiaceae

Genus: Lavendula

Lavender (Lavendula) is a species of plants in the mint family. English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), and French lavender (L. stoechas) are two of the most common.  Native to Northern Africa and areas bordering the Mediterranean, this herb is well known for its fragrance, which is caused by oil glands imbedded among tiny star-shaped trichomes (plant hairs) that cover the flowers, leaves, and stems. The dried flowers can be used for sachets, bath products, decor, and even in drinks and desserts. Lavender plants are largely cultivated for its essential oil, which is used in a myriad of products, such as perfumes, lotions, candles, cleaners, and cosmetics. Lavender has medicinal properties as well. It is commonly used to help with anxiety and depression, as it has very calming attributes.
