Notes: Bottle label reads 'Oil of Citronella. B.P.C..' There is a company logo of 'Bush' on the label. No botanical name is indicated on the bottle; however, based on other citronella specimens in the collection it is assumed to be Cymbopogon nardus. For general, information on C. nardus (formerly known as Andropogon nardus) in the Pharmaceutical Society Museum collection, see the published 1878 catalogue and the manual card catalogue.
