Commonly called Tea Tree, this member of the Myrtaceae family is largely endemic to Australia. Traditionally used by early settlers to make a tea by boiling its leaves in water. A valuable source of nectar, it is still used in honey production throughout Australia.
Tea Tree's tiny flowers also make a lovely addition to herbal and rose posies, adding a fragrant touch of the Australian bush - 'Something beautiful' in miniature.
