The image beautifully captures the essence of this botanical wonder, highlighting its slender stalks adorned with lush green leaves. Lemon grass is renowned for its distinctive lemon-like flavor, making it a prized ingredient in various culinary delights.

These classifications shed light on its evolutionary lineage and structural characteristics.
