    We need more information! Curry plant is similar to lavender but has yellow flowers and is quite lanky, Senecio has broader leaves and yellow daisy like flowers, Honey Myrtle is like a bottle brush plant but has grey leaves and lemon yellow 'brushes'.
    What shape are the leaves and flowers, is it a bush, tree or plant, does it smell?

    If it is a curry plant (it does sound like it could be), bruising the leaves will leave you in no doubt! (it smells strongly of curry!)

    Just seen another thread about your plant, nathan7. Santolina is another contender, which has a strong scent but not like curry.
