Types and varieties

    Johore, Singapore and Indonesia are the commonly cultivated types of patchouli. Of these, Johore yields the best quality oil in terms of chemical composition and odour value whereas, the other two have high herbage and oil-yield potential, but their oils are of inferior quality. The CIM-Shresta is the recently released variety of patchouli.
