Summary description from Wikipedia:
Mallotus claoxyloides
Mallotus claoxyloides is an Australian rainforest plant in the spurge family. Common names include green kamala, odour bush, and smell of the bush. Opinions are divided on the strong scent of the plant. Some say it is offensive and resembles a skunk while most others find the scent aromatic and delightful. Because of the scent, it is grown in gardens.
The specific epithet refers to the similarity of the foliage to Claoxylon. The natural range of distribution is from the Richmond River, New South Wales to Torres Strait in the north-east of Australia. The habitat is in the drier of eastern Australian rainforests. It is a useful regeneration plant, appearing quickly in disturbed areas.
