The species mentioned are primarily those distilled on the island for their essential oil:
Immortelle (murza), Myrtle (morta), Rosemary (rosumarinu), Laricio Pine (lariciu)... Some aromatic plants not distilled in Corsica but famous there are also included: Corsican thyme (erba barona), Common oregano (carnepula),...
The Corsican names of the plants are those most commonly used on the Island, as the names vary from village to village! Each plant is presented in its natural environment and placed within its botanical family.
The aroma of its essential oil is described based on careful olfactory observations.
A very detailed therapeutic index featuring mainly Corsican plants and other important extracts completes this work.
Adorned with beautiful photographs, this book is a wonderful olfactory journey through the Island of Beauty; it is intended for botanists, plant growers, doctors, pharmacists, therapists, and passionate enthusiasts.
