| | Floridata: Cinnamomum camphora |
 | | This camphor tree shades a house in North Florida - a landscape use no longer considered appropriate for this invasive species. |
 | | Cinnamomum camphora, the camphor tree, comes from China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and adjacent parts of East Asia, where it grows in mesic forests and on well-drained sites along streambanks. |
 | | In the United States, it is grown along the Gulf Coast and in California, and has escaped cultivation and become naturalized in many areas. |
