Tea Tree has long-recognised Aboriginal medicinal uses. The common name ‘tea tree’ probably originated from Captain James Cook's observation (1777) of leaves of one of the Melaleuca shrubs being used to make an infusion. Manuka honey comes from nectar gathered by bees from the flowers of the same genus of shrubs.
