General Description:  The small roots of this plant have been used for thousands of years. The tall, perennial, grassy plant is native to India, though it grows throughout southern Asia, Caribbean (especially Haiti) and other diverse locations.

The oil is extensively used in perfumery where it can be used as a fixative and as a special ingredient in perfumes
