Mallotus claoxyloides
''Mallotus claoxyloides'' is an Australian rainforest plant in the spurge family. Common names include green kamala, odour bush, and smell of the bush. Opinions are divided on the strong scent of the plant. Some say it is offensive and resembles a skunk〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Sown.com.au )〕 while most others find the scent aromatic and delightful. Because of the scent, it is grown in gardens.
The specific epithet refers to the similarity of the foliage to Claoxylon. The natural range of distribution is from the Richmond River, New South Wales to Torres Strait in the north-east of Australia. The habitat is in the drier of eastern Australian rainforests. It is a useful regeneration plant, appearing quickly in disturbed areas.
== Description ==
A bush to small tree, to 11 metres tall with a stem diameter of 23 cm.〔Floyd, A.G., ''Rainforest Trees of Mainland South-eastern Australia'', Inkata Press 2008, ISBN 978-0-9589436-7-3 page 153〕 The trunk is crooked, with fairly smooth grey or greenish grey bark. There are some bumps and irregularities, occasionally forming a vertical row. Small branches are brown, green and downy at the end, usually marked with reddish brown bumps.
Leaves opposite on the stem, 5 to 12 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=PlantNET - NSW Flora Online )〕 They are variable in shape, but mostly ovate or elliptic and occasionally heart shaped at the base. Leaves toothed or entire. Glands are sometimes seen on the upper part of the leaf near the leaf base. Leaf stalks show short hairs, and vary in length from 5 mm to 40 mm. Like the related red kamala two basal veins are present, growing to a third of a half of the way up the leaf. Net veins are visible under the leaf.
