Cymbopogon flexuosus, also known as Cochin grass, East-Indian lemon grass or Malabar grass, is a perennial grass that is native to India, Sri Lanka, Burma, and Thailand. It belongs to the genus Cymbopogon, which includes other lemongrass species. The essential oil of Cymbopogon flexuosus is obtained through steam distillation of its freshly cut leaves or by using alcohol extraction. There are two known cultivars of this plant, namely I cauvery and Krishna.
