Zieria citriodora, commonly known as Lemon-scented Zieria, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rutaceae.[3] It is a small shrub that grows to 20 cm high and 30 cm wide. The trifoliate leaves are lemon-scented. Small pale pink or white flowers appear from late winter to summer.[4]
The species, which is native to south-eastern New South Wales and north-eastern Victoria in Australia, is listed as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The New South Wales populations both occur near Cooma. One population (about 150 plants) is on crown land near Numerella and the other (32 plants) near Kybeyan on private land. The Victorian population (40 plants) occurs to the north-west of Mount Cobberas No. 2.[1]
