Understanding the material

Biolandes identifies roots for its lovage essential oil and discusses its relationships with citrus, woods and spices. The fresh leaves in a botanical illustration provide plant context, not the processed part of this particular oil. Root, herb and seed products need separate specifications even when they share one botanical source.
