Melaleuca is a genus of almost 300 plant species[1] in the myrtle (Myrtaceae) family, commonly known as tea tree, honey myrtle, or paper bark. These common names refer to many species’ scaly bark and the nectar produced in their flowers.
Around 230 species are native to Australia, with the few remaining species occurring in Indonesia, Malaysia, New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands, and New Guinea.
