Camphor-Weed (Pluchea camphorata) Growing in a wetland in Floyd County, GA.<br /> <br /> This plant exudes a distinctive camphorous odor from its leaves and stems when bruised or touched. Many people find the scent disagreeable, likening it to feline urine. However, I find the smell pleasant (and no, I don&#039;t like the smell of cat urine!).<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/65698/camphor-weed_pluchea_camphorata.html" title="Camphor-Weed (Pluchea camphorata)"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3231/65698_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=FNF3LWJIxesvg1MNfbMbY%2Be5S7Q%3D" width="102" height="152" alt="Camphor-Weed (Pluchea camphorata) Growing in a wetland in Floyd County, GA.<br /> <br /> This plant exudes a distinctive camphorous odor from its leaves and stems when bruised or touched.

    I guess in this case it is similar to gasoline, some find the smell disgusting, some love it.     Posted 7 years ago
