While growth of literature in this field has not been consistent, continued research interest in Lavender has been revealed by this study. Research activity is apparent in a wide range of countries but there is potential for greater international collaboration. The outcomes of research are also widely scattered across numerous journals reflecting the diversity in research being conducted. While the focus has been on a limited number of species of lavender, the large number of available species that have received limited research interest could provide a focus for future research.
