Andropogon Muricatus
The Khus-Khus, or Vetiver grass of India.
The fibrous roots yield a most peculiar but pleasing perfume. In
India the leaves are manufactured into awnings, blinds, and
sunshades; but principally for screens, used in hot weather for
doors and windows, which, when wetted, diffuse a peculiar and
refreshing perfume, while cooling the air.
