The Lavenders Lavandula are a genus of 39 species of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region south to tropical Africa and to the southeast regions of India. The genus includes annuals, herbaceous plants, subshrubs, and small shrubs. The native range extends across the Canary Islands, North and East Africa, south Europe and the Mediterranean, Arabia, and India. Because the cultivated forms are planted in gardens world-wide, they are occasionally found growing wild, as garden escapees, well beyond their natural range. Because Lavender cross-polinates easily, however, there are countless variations within the species. The purest and most consistent Lavender derives from Tasmania, where selected strands of Lavender were exported for the sole purpose of creating a variety that did not have naturally occuring relatives in its environment with which it could cross-polinate. Bridestowe Estate produces one of the most delicate and least camphorous lavender essential oils available.
