_bConfusion about the genera Geranium and Pelargonium existed even before Linnaeus' binomial system of classification bundled both into the former category in 1753. Despite later evaluations that separated the two, many practitioners of alternative medicine and aromatherapists, among others, remain unaware of the distinction. Laymen and plant sales personnel are often equally in the dark, as the majority of garden center 'geraniums' are Pelargonium species and cultivars. This work aims to dispel myths and peel away layers of incorrect and muddled information which contribute to the unclear image of the genera.Geranium and Pelargonium: The Genus Geranium and Pelargonium features discussion and new information on some of the following areas:* taxonomy and history of usage and nomenclature* cultivation for essential oil production and retail purposes in different countries* phytochemistry of the genera* chemistry of Geranium and Pelargonium oils* theory and practice of distillation of Geranium and Pelargonium oils* pharmacology an therapeutic properties of Geranium and Pelargonium oils and extracts* use of Geranium and Pelargonium products in aromatherapy, perfumery, cosmetics, food processing and medicine* new research into Geranium and PelargoniumThis book will be of interest to graduate students, scientists and professionals in the Geranium and Pelargonium growing and retail industry, the perfumery, food and cosmetics industries, and to those interested in Geranium and Pelargonium for alternative and conventional medical use. * Theory and practice of distillation
