Cymbopogon Citratus
The Cymbopogon citratus is improperly called citronella, like C nardus, which is another variety grown in India, but both plants have the same indications. The leaves are widely used in decoction as a refreshing and digestive drink. On the other hand, the decoction of leaves and roots is widely used as a febrifuge in Africa, but one prefers another species Cymbopogon giganteus.
