Pluchea grevei is a plant of the Asteraceae family, native to regions with warm and dry climate. This is the reason why the shrub is abundant in the province of Tuléar (in the south of Madagascar). Pluchea grevei appreciates sandy soils just like Katrafay and Croton Geayi. The flowers are yellow in color and are grouped in capitulum like dandelion or daisy, with alternate and elongated leaves. The leaves and stems are covered with a fine fluff. The essential oil of Famonty is made from steam distillation of leaves, leafy stems and flowers. This yellow oil has a density lower than 1 unlike most essential oils.
