Post Lemon Plant - does anyone know its proper name?

I have a house plant which my mum gave me a cutting of a few years ago, she has had it in the family for years and we none of us remember where it came from originally or what its rela name is.

It is very dark green, grows very fast, does not flower, it has leaves that are quite broad but fan out at the ends, they feel quite furry when you touch them and more importantly when you rub them between your fingers they smell quite strongly of lemon/ citrus scent.

My Mum always calls it a lemon plant, but I believe this is wrong as it is not a relative of the lemon or indeed it does not grow lemons. I have done some research on the internet and just cannot identify it.

Can anyone help?

Martin.
