Flowers of the Tea Tree

Leptospermum scoparium, commonly called New Zealand Tea Tree, Mānuka, Manuka Myrtle, Broom Tea Tree, or just Tea Tree, is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae, native to southeast Australia. Though often considered a native to New Zealand, it was introduced from Australia. The common name Tea Tree derives from the practice of early settlers of soaking the leaves of several species in boiling water to make a tea substitute.
