            Common name: Lemon Scented Gum 
Local Marathi name:  Safeda
Family: Myrtaceae
Flowering season: Nov to Feb 
Country of origin: Australia
A very fast growing tall evergreen tree. 
Bark - smooth, nearly white and occasionally mottled and sheds in thin curling flakes.
Leaves - typically Eucalyptus-like narrow downward-drooping that smell of fresh lemons when crushed. The leaves yield the famous lemon-scented oil used in perfumery. 
Flowers - flower buds are covered by 2 hemispherical caps, one under the other, hence the generic name  ‘Eu-calyptus’ which means ‘well-covered’. The flowers do not have petals but have long cream coloured stamens. Fruits - urn shaped with their valves sunk deep inside.
The tree is well adapted to survive in drought conditions.
