Default A plant that smells like lemon?

I have a plant that leaves smell like lemon. Not sure what it's
called. Actually thats a secondary question. What I would actually
like to know is can you take cuttings from this plant? I have chopped
off a branch just below a node and scraped at it, in the hope that it
will root.


Leaves rather like a softer willow? Then it is lemon verbena, and
it should root. Rounded, 'cushiony' leaves? Then it is lemon
balm, and is best propagated by division. But my guess is the
former.

Actually it appears to be doing quite well. Do you have a link to a
picture of both?
