トウキンセンカ花油

化学的特性Pot marigold is an annual (sometimes biennial), pubescent herb, growing in the Mediterranean region. The plant grows up to 60 cm (2 ft), covered with glandular hairs and has yellow-orange flowers, alternate greenish-gray leaves (the superior, lanceolate; the radical, oblong) and spindle-shaped roots. The flowers are large heads with yellow or orange rays. An oil of little or no importance is distilled from the dried flowers in approximately 0.02% yields. Pot marigold should not be confused with tagetes, known also as marigold. The flowers are the part used. Pot marigold has an intense, herbaceous odor with a slightly bitter, tonic flavor.
