Melaleuca alternifolia (Maiden & Betche) Cheel

 

Narrow-leaved Paperbark, Narrow-leaved Tea-tree, Narrow-leaved Ti-tree, or Snow-in-summer, is a species of tree or tall shrub in the plant genus Melaleuca. Native to Australia, it occurs in Southeast Queensland and the north coast and adjacent ranges of New South Wales. It grows along streams and on swampy flats, and is often the dominant species where it occurs.

 

<Growth>

Leaves are linear, 10–35 mm long and 1 mm wide. White flowers occur in spikes 3–5 cm long. Small woody, cup-shaped fruit are 2–3 mm in diameter.

 

<Medicinal uses>

Characteristic of the myrtle family Myrtaceae, it is used to distill essential oil. It is the primary species for commercial production of Tea tree oil (melaleuca oil), a topical antibacterial and antifungal used in a range of herbal medicine products including antiseptics(살균제), deodorants(탈취제), shampoos, soaps and lotions. It is also effective against aphthous ulcers(수포성 궤양), more commonly known as canker(궤양) sores.

 

Tea tree oil is toxic if ingested in large amounts and if used topically in high concentrations may cause skin irritation. No deaths have been reported, except when used on pets.

아래 있는 것은 잎 모양이 다른데  역시 티트리로 소개되어 있다.

인터넷에서 이미지 검색을 해보니 Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) Blake에 제일 가까워보인다. 그러나 이종은 영어권에서 Tea tree 보다는 Broad leaved paperbark로 불리운다. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

종에 대한 설명 

 

Melaleuca quinquenervia, commonly known as broad-leaved paperbark, the paper bark tea tree or niaouli, is a small- to medium-sized tree of the allspice family, Myrtaceae. The plant is native to New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea and coastal Eastern Australia, from Botany Bay in New South Wales northwards, into Queensland and the Northern Territory. It has become naturalised in the Everglades in Florida, where it is considered a serious weed by the USDA.

 

Melaleuca quinquenervia grows from 8–20 m (25–60 ft) high with a spread of 5–10 m (15–30 ft), with thick white and beige papery bark. Arranged alternately, the leathery dull- or grey-green leaves are 5–10 cm (2–4 in) long by 0.5–2.5 cm (¼–1 in) wide, and ovate to obovate in shape. Flowering occurs from spring to early autumn, September to March in Australia. The white or cream flowers are arranged in cylindrical brushes some 4–8 cm (2–3 in) long and 2–3 cm (1 in) wide borne at or near the end of branchlets. They are followed by small woody seed pods containing many tiny seeds which are released annually.
