Lemon verbena : ウィキペディア英語版 | Aloysia citrodora
''Aloysia citrodora'' is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family Verbenaceae, native to western South America. Common names include lemon verbena and lemon beebrush. It was brought to Europe by the Spanish and the Portuguese in the 17th century and cultivated for its oil. ==Description== Lemon verbena is a perennial shrub or subshrub growing to 2–3 m high. The 8-cm-long, glossy, pointed leaves are slightly rough to the touch and emit a powerful scent reminiscent of lemon when bruised (hence the Latin specific epithet ''citrodora''—lemon-scented). Sprays of tiny purple or white flowers appear in late spring or early summer. It is sensitive to cold, losing leaves at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), although the wood is hardy to −10 °C (14 °F).〔http://www.hanasgarden.com/2011/05/lemon-verbena-aloysia-citrodora 〕 Due to its many culinary uses, it is widely listed and marketed as a plant for the herb garden.
