Best viewed large to see the roadmap of veins and oil glans in the leaf.
Lemon-scented backhousia has the most beautifully lemon-scented leaves. The smell comes from the millions of tiny oil glands dotted over each leaf (the little yellow dots). A crushed leaf smells like lemon lollies and a few crushed leaves allowed to steep in boiling water produce a beautiful lemon cordial.

And a great tea, I believe. We have one and I often wish it was closer to the house to get the lemony smell when the insects are chewing. The colours and composition are fabulous. Well done, Amanda. Fave.
