''Eucalyptus staigeriana'', '''Lemon Ironbark''' or '''Lemon-scented Ironbark''', is a small rough barked [[sclerophyll]] [[tree]] that grows naturally in pure stands on hills in the Palmer River region of [[Cape York]], North [[Queensland]], Eastern [[Australia]]. The complex [[essential oil]] is distilled from the leaves and used for [[flavoring]] and [[aromatherapy]]. The leaf is also used as a [[bushfood]] [[spice]] and herb-tea ingredient.<br />
<br />
''E. staigeriana'' fresh weight leaves yield 2.9-3.4% essential oil. It contains a range of essential oil components, including [[geranial]], methyl geranate, [[geranyl acetate]], [[limonene]], [[phellandrene]], [[neral]], terpinolene and [[geraniol]]. It is used like a bay-leaf in savory cooking, and is also used in confectionery and teas. It has a fruity-lemon flavor, with a rosemary-like edge.<br />
<br />
Until recently Brazil was the only producer of ''E.staigeriana'' oil, producing up to 60 tonnes pa. <ref> http://www.fao.org/docrep/V5350e/V5350e07.htm </ref> ''E. staigeriana'' has been grown in small-scale plantations in Queensland and Northern New South Wales since the 1990s, including for the leaf as a bushfood spice.<br />
