Pelargonium capitatum

Pelargonium capitatum is a species of aromatic plant commonly known as rose geranium. It belongs to the genus Pelargonium, which contains about 280 species of annual, biennial, and perennial herbaceous plants often referred to as geraniums.12

Rose geraniums are cultivated for their fragrant, lobed leaves and small pink flowers. Several species within the Pelargonium genus, including P. capitatum, are known for releasing minty, fruity, floral, and spicy fragrances when their leaves are handled. These plants are commercially important for producing geranium oil, an essential oil used in perfumery, soaps, ointments, and powders, prized for its rose-like scent.12
