Cananga odorata
''Cananga odorata'', known as the cananga tree ((インドネシア語:kenanga), ), is a tropical tree that originates in the Philippines.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.holisticaroma.co.uk/articles/ylang_ylang.php )〕 It is valued for the perfume extracted from its flowers, called ylang-ylang 〔OED〕 (a name also sometimes used for the tree itself), which is an essential oil used in aromatherapy. The tree is also called the fragrant cananga, Macassar-oil plant, or perfume tree.
The ylang-ylang vine (''Artabotrys odoratissimus'') and climbing ylang-ylang (''Artabotrys hexapetalus'') are woody, evergreen climbing plants in the same family. ''Artabotrys odoratissimus'' is also a source of perfume.〔
==Etymology==
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. A common mistranslation is "flower of flowers".〔
