Melaleuca citrina
''Melaleuca citrina'', commonly known as common red, crimson or lemon bottlebrush,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= https://biodiversity.org.au/boa/instance/apni/521947 )〕 is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to New South Wales and Victoria in Australia. (Some Australian state herbaria continue to use the name ''Callistemon citrinus''. ''Callistemon lanceolatus'' is an older name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://anpsa.org.au/c-cit.html )〕) It is a hardy and adaptable species, common in its natural habitat. It is widely cultivated, not only in Australia but also in other countries, often as ''Callistemon citrinus'' or ''Callistemon lanceolatus''. It was one of the first Australian plants to be grown outside the country, having been taken to England in 1770 by Joseph Banks. Its showy red flower spikes, present over most of the year in an ideal situation, account for its popularity.
==Description==
''Melaleuca citrina'' is a shrub growing to tall but more usually in the range high and wide. It has hard, fibrous or papery bark and its young growth is usually covered with soft, silky hairs. Its leaves are arranged alternately and are long, wide, hard, flat, narrow egg-shaped with the narrower end near the base and with a pointed but not sharp end. There are between 7 and 26 branching veins clearly visible on both ides of the leaves and a large number of distinct oil glands visible on both surfaces of the leaves.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Callistemon~citrinus )〕
The flowers are red and arranged in spikes on the ends of branches which continue to grow after flowering and sometimes also in the uppper leaf axils. The spikes are up to in diameter and long with up to 80 individual flowers. The petals are long and fall off as the flower ages. There are 30 to 45 stamens in each flower, with their "stalks" (the filaments) red and "tips" (the anthers) purple. Flowering occurs in most months of the year but mainly in November and December. Flowering is followed by fruits which are woody, cup-shaped capsules, long and about wide in cylindrical clusters along the stem. The fruiting capsules remain unopened until the plant, or the part bearing them dies.〔〔
