Characteristics
Hundreds of species of Pelargonia exist but the two types that are regularly used for oil production in Egypt and China are the Pelargonium x asperum and the Pelargonium graveolens respectively. These two different qualities of oil are not fully interchangeable but as blending is an option the price of each tends to follow the same pattern.
