Plant For ID : VJTI,Mumbai : 280214 : AK-28 : Attachments (2). 6 posts by 3 authors. Small, cultivated plant seen at the exhibition. Not very sure, but it was in the medicinal plants section.

Citronella mucronata : Odomos : Flower Show,Mumbai : 03FEB17 : AK-4 : 14 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (2)This id seems to be wrong. It looks like Geranium Species to me. Experts, kindly give your opinion. A similar plant was posted by me from ‘Friends of Trees’ Exhibition earlier. It seems Geranium graveolens (Lemon scented Geranium), a source of an essential oil used in perfumery. Did you mean Pelargonium graveolens as per images herein or other similar Pelargonium species?

Thanks for going thro’ this post and providing the correct id. I believe the one seen at ‘Friends of Trees’ Exhibition in Mumbai could also be the same. I am posting my plant of Pelargonium graveolens separately, which I had procured a few years back from Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and was growing at my home.
