Lemon Myrtle originates from the Australian Rainforest and was given the botanical name Backhousia Citriodora in 1853 after the English botanist, James Backhouse. The common name reflects the strong sweet lemon smell of the crushed leaves. It is often mistakenly called “lemon ironbark”, which is actually Eucalyptus staigeriana.
