Extra Info

Patchouli is a perennial bushy plant that grows up to 1meter (3 feet) with a sturdy, hairy stem and large, fragrant, furry leaves, about four inches long and five inches across. It has whitish flowers tinged with purple. Patchouli comes from Malaysia and India, where it is known as 'puchaput'. Patchouli comes from the Hindustan word 'patch' meaning 'green' and 'ilai' meaning 'leaf.' It was placed between Indian cashmere shawls en route to Victorian England to protect the merchandise from moths. Without the smell of Patchouli the shawls could not be sold. In the East Patchouli is used to place between linen to keep bedbugs away, in sachets and in pot-pourri. It is Patchouli and Camphor that gives Indian ink its characteristic smell.
