The plant has long, linear-lanceolate leaves that can be either cordate or amplexicaul in shape. The length of the leaves can range from 8 to 50 centimeters, and their breadth can be anywhere from 1 to 3 centimeters. The leaves are thin and fragrant, and they have a scent that is reminiscent of roses (a unique trait).
Palmarosa develop blooms that are spikelets clustered in panicles. These spikelets are the flowers. Over the course of their development, these panicles begin as green and progressively transform into a reddish-brown tint. In tropical and subtropical climes, the plant is most successful when it is grown in soils that have good drainage and is exposed to direct sunshine. The essential oil that is collected from the leaves by the process of steam distillation is highly appreciated because to the high concentration of geraniol that it contains. This essential oil finds applications in the fragrance, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical sectors. Essential oil from Cymbopogon martinii is widely cultivated because of its moisturizing and antibacterial characteristics. This oil is the reason for the plant’s widespread cultivation.
