Description
Paweena Wessapak, Chatchai Ngernsaengsaruay, and Sutee Duangjai revise the grasses of the genus Cymbopogon in Thailand in a 2026 paper. The genus includes lemon grass and other scented plants grown for their oils.
The revision accepts 12 species for the country, one of them found nowhere else. Three widely grown species are treated as introduced: they are valued for oils used in medicine, perfume, and industry, but they have not gone wild. The paper gives full descriptions, drawings, and photos for each species. It also records where each grows, when it flowers, local names, and uses. Three plant names are formally fixed to type specimens, settling old naming disputes.
