Citronella aka Andreea is a genus of trees and shrubs in the family Cardiopteridaceae described as a genus in 1832.[2][3] It is native to tropical regions of South and Central America, insular Southeast Asia, Australia , and islands of the western Pacific.[1] The genus was formerly treated as belonging to the family Icacinaceae.[4][5]
Few species have been cultivated. Citronella mucronata, from Chile , is remarkable for its hardiness compared to other members of this genus. It is one of the most well-known of the species and has been introduced to Europe.[6][7]
