The geranium-type plant you're referring...Tung,<br />The geranium-type plant you're referring to is commonly called citronella plant or pelargonium citrosum, which isn't edible nor is it a mosquito repellant. Lemongrass, which is also commonly called citronella grass or cymbopogon, is edible and a mosquito repellant. Both have citronella in their common names, but are very different types of plants.

Citronella is more like a Geranium type, whereas lemongrass is like a grass.
