Flower fragrance of scented geranium
Pelargonium graveolens L'Hér.
For Pelargonium graveolens, the term 'flower fragrance' is atypical, as the primary source of scent in this species is the leaves rather than the flowers.
In the reference 21 varieties crop Rose geranium, where this is mentioned in the description.
The foliage of Pelargonium graveolens possesses a distinct aroma, the intensity and notes of which (rose, lemon, mint) are enhanced by mechanical stimulation. At the same time, the flowers of this species lack significant fragrance and are not a subject of selective breeding for this trait.
Agronomic and breeding assessment of the essential oil qualities of this crop is based exclusively on the analysis of green biomass. The composition of the essential oil, which includes geraniol, citronellol, and linalool, is determined by hydrodistillation and chromatography solely from the stems and leaves of the plant.
