lemon eucalyptus

Fragrant Australian tree

Lemon eucalyptus is a tall eucalyptus tree native to Australia, named for the citrus scent of its leaves.

The essential oil extracted from these leaves is used as a natural insect repellent, often marketed as an alternative to synthetic compounds like DEET: I prefer lemon eucalyptus spray for hiking.
