Ruta graveolens
Cool.I think that this species does not exist in Portugal ..
Same genus but a different species...Giant Swallowtail is Papilio cresphontes.
In Portugal this plant is a host plant for the species Papilio machaon.Maybe the same species?
Here in Florida this plant is a host plant for the Giant Swallowtail Caterpillar.
