In a Nutshell:
* Leptospermum scoparium ( Manuka or Tea tree or just Leptospermum ) is a shrub or small tree native to New Zealand and southeast Australia . It is found throughout New Zealand but is particularly common on the drier east coasts of the North Island and the South Island , and in Australia in Tasmania , Victoria and New South Wales . Manuka (from M?ori 'm?nuka') is the name used in New Zealand, and 'tea tree' is a common name in Australia and to a lesser extent also in New Zealand. This name arose because Captain Cook used the leaves to make a 'tea' drink. The common name "Tea Tree" is also shared with the related Melaleuca tree of Australia suggesting that both were used to make tea by Captain Cook. more...
