Lamiaceae&verbenaceae week Lavandula angustifolia: Sending photos of Lavandula angustifolia True lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill. syn. L. officinalis Chaix) is a perennial shrub of the family Lamiaceae. It is native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean area and is commercially cultivated in France, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, the UK, Bulgaria, Australia, China and the USA. In India, it was introduced in the Kashmir Valley in 1983, where its commercial cultivation was found to be successful. This plant is cultivated primarily for its aromatic inflorescence from which the essential oil is isolated, although its fresh and dried flowers are also marketed.Lavender oil is known for its excellent aroma and is extensively used in the perfumery, flavour and cosmetic industries. The oil is known to possess sedative, carminative, anti-depressive and anti-inflammatory properties. It was also found to be active against many species of bacteria, including those resistant to antibiotics, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus. Lavender oil was also reported to be an effective antifungal agent against Aspergillus nidulans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Oil from lavender cultivated in India may become a significant competitor with historical sources of lavender oil due to the favourable climatic conditions for commercial cultivation in the hilly tracks of northern India. At present, the cultivation of lavender is mainly confined to Jammu and Kashmir. The essential oil is rich in linalyl acetate and linalool hence the essential oil has high demand in fragrance industry and aromatherapy.
