Thymus citriodora (or citriodorus) is the basic latin name. You'll find some cultivars based off of that. Here's the place I ordered it from, so you can see their description, but you can probably find it locally. It's variably known as mosquito-repellant thyme, lemon thyme (there's more than one lemon thyme), lime thyme...nobody can quite agree what it smells like, I suppose. :) At any rate, this version is a low spreading ground-cover, not all of them will be. http://hartmannsplantcompany.com/miva/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=HE-R-0100-0025&Category_Code=SP-R&Store_Code=HPC
Here's a short list of other recommended repellent plants I found while doing a search on the latin name: http://www.helium.com/items/315744-mosquito-repellant-plants-for-your-garden
