A Flower Other Than Philippine’s Sampaguita
Other than the popular sampaguita
flower philippine
, the ylang-ylang flower is also known as one of the few native flowers of the Philippines. Sampaguita and the ylang-ylang are both known for their scents. Both of these flowers are also known for their use in medicine and other applications. In fact, the sampaguita flowers and ylang-ylang are usually used together in one special trademark of the Philippines. But first, what is the ylang-ylang flower?
A Unique Flower
The ylang-ylgang
flower philippine
is unique among other flowers. This is usually because of its unique features. Unlike the other flowers, the ylang-ylang flowers are usually yellow-green in color and shaped rather like starfish. But what made this flower popular is its unique sweet scent. The name
ylang-ylang
is derived from Tagalog, either from the word
ilang
, meaning “wilderness”, alluding to its natural habitat, or the word
ilang-ilan
, meaning “rare”, suggestive of its exceptionally delicate scent. Other than the Philippines, the ylang-ylang flower is also native to Indonesia, in which its flowers are commonly grown in Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia because of its uses. Because of its scent, the ylang-ylang flowers are also used in aromatherapy. The essential oil of the flower is obtained through steam distillation of the flowers and separated into different grades (extra; 1; 2; 3) according to when the distillates are obtained. The main aromatic component of ylang-ylang is methyl anthranilate. Many have even believed that the ylang-ylang
flower philippine
could also relieve high blood pressure, normalize sebum secretion for skin problems, and is considered to be an aphrodisiac. Other than in medicine, the oil from ylang-ylang is widely used in perfumery for oriental or floral themed perfumes (like Chanel No. 5). Ylang-ylang’s essential oil makes up 29% of the Comoros’ annual export. Customs pertaining the use of the ylang-ylang include spreading it on the bed of newlywed couples in Indonesia. The one thing that made sampaguita and ylang-ylang popular in the Philippines is that these

are usually put together to make garlands. In the Philippines, its flowers, together with the flowers of the sampaguita, are strung into a necklace and worn by women and used to adorn religious images. For more information visit to our site at http://www.myflowerdepot.com
