The Coastal tea-tree - Leptospermum laevigatum

Top
The leptospermums belong to the largest family of flowering plants in Australia, the Myrraceae, or the myrtle family. The vast majority of the Australian members have dry fruits and are characterized by many adaptations which enable them to conserve moisture.

The leptospermums were called tea-trees because Captain Cook's sailors were supposed to have made tea from the leaves.
