About Lavandula latifolia Medik.
Lavandula latifolia Medik. is a strongly aromatic evergreen shrub that reaches 30 to 80 centimeters in height. Its evergreen leaves measure 3 to 6 centimeters long and 5 to 8 millimeters wide. Its pale lilac flowers grow in 2 to 5 centimeter-long spikes, located at the tops of slender, leafless stems that are 20 to 50 centimeters long. This species flowers from June to September, with timing dependent on weather conditions. Its fruit is an indehiscent, single-seeded nut with a hardened pericarp. Four of these small nuts are produced per fruit, and they often remain locked inside the calyx tube. This plant grows at elevations ranging from 0 to 1,700 meters above mean sea level. Lavandula latifolia can be used in aromatherapy.
