I am visiting a friend in florida and she has a shrub we can't identify. It branches out from one central stalk, has small round green leaves, a little larger than a quarter. When the leaf is rubbed between your fingers it smells similar to menthol or camphor.The leaves are not those of anything typical of spearmint or peppermint, they are firmer,smoother. It looks similar to the eucalyptus you would buy in wreaths but when I look up eucalyptus on the web, the photos show a long thin leaf, more like a bay leaf.
Need help identifying a non-flowering fragrant shrub?
Probably a Silver Drop Eucalyptus. Check out the link and see if the picture looks like the bush. These grow well in the deep south.
