Fragrant Plants
 |
Seven-year Apple Genipa clusiifolia
Slow-growing shrubby tree growing eventually to 10 feet in height.
Super salt-tolerance, so it's great for planting along your beach-front
property. At home in well-drained, alkaline soil. Wonderfully
fragrant flowers, with that elegant star shape. |
| The two photos below are both of the
Simpson's Stopper
Myrcianthes
fragrans, which is one our most adaptable native plants. It can be used as
either a shrub (making a magical screening that the neighbors won't resent), or
as a wonderfully ornate specimen tree (look at the branching that develops over
time in the photo at left). The photo at right shows the small
leaves, which have a eucalyptusy odor, and the flowers, which appear
throughout the year, and are extremely fragrant. Check out the Stopper
page for more information about Simpson's (and other) stoppers. |

Spanish Stopper Eugenia foetida
When it's in full bloom, its
heavenly aroma will stimulate your olfactory senses and send you floating to a
fresh, brighter reality, where the bland and commonplace become extraordinary.
Check out the Stopper page for more information
about Spanish (and other) stoppers. |

White Stopper Eugenia axillaris
Every good environmentalist has to have at least one of these on
hand. Major berry source for birds. Its fragrance, coming from
the evaporation of volatile oils from the leaves, tends toward musky, not
sweet. It has an organic, earthy, skunky smell you don't want to
admit that you secretly like.

Allspice Pimenta dioica
You plant one of these in your yard, in a spot where you want high
screening. Then, when you 're getting ready to go on a date, you
crush one of the leaves between your hands, and rub it behind your
ears. Guaranteed to make you more appealing.
