Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), also called narrow-leaved lavender or lavender for short, is a species of plant in the genus Lavandula within the Lamiaceae family.
It is mainly used as an ornamental plant or for the production of fragrances, and lavender is also used as a medicinal plant.
The lavender is an aromatic, small shrub, also called a dwarf shrub, which grows to a height of 100 to 150, rarely up to 200 centimetres. The above-ground parts of the plant have greyish felt-like hairs. The twigs are ascending, upright and strongly branched, stiffly upright and unbranched or they bear short shoots.

The opposite deciduous leaves are stalkless. The simple leaf blade is lanceolate, oblong or linear at 40 to 50 millimetres long and narrowing at both ends. They are blunt, with entire margins and more or less curled at the edges. When young, the upper and lower leaves are covered with grey felt-like hairs, later they become hairy.

The home of the true lavender is originally the coastal regions of the Mediterranean.
Most of the original populations are found over a large area in eastern Spain, otherwise it is only known to occur in the south-eastern corner of France and in neighbouring areas in Italy, as well as in one Italian locality near Bologna. There are further reports from several French departments.
The original populations are in mountainous regions that are not suitable for agricultural use.
