Cinnamomum camphora d.b. (Camphor Tree)
In 1875, the camphor tree was brought to Florida as an ornamental shrub and for use on camphor plantations. The leaves are a glossy light green with three major veins and a pointy oval-like form. When crushed, they emit a pungent camphor odor. In mild regions, the tree may be evergreen. In the spring, the tree produces clusters of tiny, off-white blooms that mature into drupes, which are spherical, black fruits.
