    CINNAMOMUM

     

    Since its introduction into Australia in 1822 (from China) it has become a rampant menace. Its massive, spreading roots disrupt drainage and watercourses and the fallen leaves inhibit growth around it. It outcompetes eucalyptus, some of which provide the sole food of koalas.

    It is used as an alternative to mothballs as an insect deterrent.

    Genus of about 250 species of evergreen trees and shrubs found in forest in eastern and southeastern Asia and Australia.
