Pittosporum eugenioides

Pittosporum eugenioides, commonly known as lemonwood or tarata, is a species of evergreen tree endemic to New Zealand. Growing to 12 m (39 ft) tall by 5 m (16 ft) broad, it is conical when young but more rounded in shape when mature. Its leaves are mottled yellow-green with curly edges and a salient bright midrib, and have a strong lemony smell when crushed. It has highly fragrant clusters of attractive yellow-cream flowers in spring, followed by distinctive black seed capsules. It is found throughout New Zealand's North and South Islands along forest margins and stream banks from sea level to 600 m (1,969 ft). It is New Zealand's largest Pittosporum.

The binomial qualifier eugenioides means "resembling Eugenia", a different genus of plants.

The variegated cultivar 'Variegatum' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
