| Abstract:
Studied in Indonesia around World War 2 under the name "Clausena anisata Hook.f.", this rutaceous tree whose leaves contain an essential oil consisting of almost pure anethole, is here identified as a cultivar of the Philippinan species Clausena anisum-olens (Blanco)Merr. The origin of this cv., still recently known only from a few cultivated trees in Bogor (Java), can be traced back to 1820, when the French botanist Perrottet collected living plants of Clausena anisum-olens near Manila and brought them back to Paris via La Réunion. | |
