Botany

Vetiver, also known as "Khus khus", is native to southern India, Ceylon, and Indonesia. It is a fragrant and extremely hardy herbaceous perennial plant with tufts of long, narrow leaves and brown-purple flowers. Its complex network of underground rootlets that penetrate deep into the soil makes it often used to consolidate landslide-prone soils. It is grown primarily in Japan, Indochina, the Philippines, Pakistan, and South America.
