Lemon Verbena Oil
Lamparsky (1985) reported that although he characterized isoneral and isogeranial and their corresponding alcohols in oils produced from fresh leaves of lemon verbena [Aloysia citriodora Palau syn. Aloysia triphylla (L'Herti.) Britt., Lippia citriodora (Ort.) H.B.K.], he believed that they were artifacts produced during oil isolation by steam distillation.
