Aglaia odorata:
A present from the Greek Goddess

...The plant's genus name comes from Greek mythology. Aglaia was the name of one of the three Graces.
Aglaia is the Greek goddess of beauty, splendor, glory, magnificence, and adornment...
...Aglaia
odorata produces highly perfumed, tiny yellow flowers almost year round - each about the size and shape of a grain of rice. They
grow in panicles about 2-4"long and are shaped like tiny balls but do not open when the flowers bloom. The scent exuded by Chinese Perfume Tree flowers is sweet
and lemony, with spicy undertones... Aglaia is a must have for every fragrant plant lover!
