tea-trees, inappropriately so called, as these bushes and trees
never yield substitutes for tea, although a New Zealand species
was used in Captain Cook's early expedition, to prepare a
medicinal infusion against scurvy; these so-called tea-trees

Kunzea, Melaleuca and Callistemon, the last-mentioned genus
producing flowers with long stamens, on which the appellation
of `Bottle-brushes' has been bestowed."
