Callistemon and Melaleuca species and cultivars
Possible misspellings: Calistemon, Mellaleuca, Melaeuca

These two genera have been grouped together here because they are hard to distinguish by the ordinary gardener. On this page in the future will be presented more information about these plants.

The Australian Native Plants section of this website covers Australian Natives from and for the whole country, but may be biased toward South East Queensland gardens.
