Tea Tree is a beautiful Australian wildflower with abundant pink flowers about 16mm across, with nectar in the centre.  Tea tree is in the same plant family as the Eucalypts and bottlebrushes (Myrtaceae).

Tea tree oil, extracted from the leaves is a powerful natural antiseptic and anti fungal agent. It has long been used by the indigenous Australians in north eastern NSW, the crushed leaves as a poultice for cuts and wounds and the oil for inhalation for respiratory infections - see history of tea tree oil
