Fragonia Essential Oil
The oil is harvested and steam distilled from, a small shrub growing to 2.4m. It is found on the south coast of Western Australia. Recognised as 'coarse tea-tree' by the cut flower industry, it has only recently been given its common name, which reflects the fragrant nature of both the foliage and the extracted oil.
