Expert Verdict

Taxonomic ambiguity: Hybrid designation does not specify parent species, and phototoxicity, allergen, and furocoumarin profile depend on specific hybrid cultivar. CPSR assessor should require supplier documentation identifying cultivar and parentage. Data gap exists for species-specific safety data. Limonene and linalool in flower extracts can form sensitizing hydroperoxides on oxidative storage.
