-Melaleuca leucadendron, Linn. (M. Cajuputi, Roxbg. M. latifolia, Raeusch). Cajuput Tree. Punk Tree. Swamp Tea Tree. Fig. 2346. Large tree with thick spongy bark and pendulous branchlets (branches rigid and erect in small plants), either glabrous or the young shoots silky: lvs. elliptic or oblong, tapering to each end, 2-4 or 8 in. long, ½ - ¾ in. wide, with 3—7 parallel nerves and numerous cross-veinlets: fls. creamy-white (varying to pink and purple in Austral.); the spikes l ½ -4 in. long, 1 in. wide, the axis growing out only after flowering; stamens nearly ½ in. long. June-Oct. G.M. 40:798. Bot. Cook's First Voy. 112. Maiden, For. Fl. N. S. W. 15.— This tree withstands salt-water, wind, drought, and slight frosts. The lvs. of certain forms yield the well-known green aromatic cajuput oil used in medicine. The bark is pale buff and peels off in many thin layers; it is very durable and almost impervious to water; it is valuable for packing frs. and is used for roofs and boats. A low, pyramidal form with narrow lvs. and silky fls. is sometimes listed as var. minor, Hort.
