callistemon

The species was known by the illegitimate name Callistemon lanceolatus for many years.

Callistemon linearifolius is a shrub or small tree in the family Myrtaceae.

The species was transferred to the genus Callistemon by Robert Sweet in 1826.

The larvae feed on Eucalyptus and Callistemon species.

In appearance they resemble the closely related Callistemon genus, but differ in the arrangement of the stamens.

Xeronema callistemon usually grows on rhyolite sea cliffs and rocky outcrops and sometimes in forest.

Araucaria, Callistemon, and Nothofagus predominate in the single-species stands.

The name is derived from the Aboriginal word "naamba", referring to the red-flowering bottle brush Callistemon viminalis.

Callistemon species are commonly referred to as bottlebrushes because of their cylindrical, brush like flowers resembling a traditional bottle brush.

"Callistemon of New Caledonia transferred to Melaleuca (Myrtaceae)".

Melaleuca (including Callistemon, Calothamnus and allied genera)

During late winter and spring, orchids, Geraldton wax, wattles, grevilleas, callistemon and kangaroo paws may be seen.

Other important Australian genera are Callistemon (bottlebrushes), Syzygium, and Melaleuca (paperbarks).

Callistemon 'Lilacinus' is a cultivar of the genus Callistemon.

It uses its brush tipped tongue to feed on nectar and pollen, especially from Banksia, Eucalyptus and Callistemon species.

It was registered under the name Callistemon 'Splendens' with the Australian Cultivar Registration Authority in 1989.

In 1828, Swiss botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle transferred the species into the genus Callistemon.

In Australia, Callistemon species are sometimes used as food plants by the larvae of hepialid moths of the genus Aenetus including A. ligniveren.

They are found on various species of Melaleuca and Callistemon plants, as well as Lysicarpus angustifolius and Lysiphyllum hookeri.

In 1826, botanist Robert Sweet indicated that the species should be transferred to the genus Callistemon in Sweet's Hortus Britannicus.

Callistemon 'Captain Cook' is a cultivar of the plant genus Callistemon, widely-grown as an ornamental plant.

Xeronema callistemon is a species of flowering plant endemic to the Poor Knights Islands and Taranga Island in the north of New Zealand.

In 1925 Edwin Cheel gave the cultivar the species name Callistemon lilacinus, but this was later brought in line with other cultivars and amended to C. 'Lilacinus'.

With the regeneration of the school came seven brand new houses - Banksia, Callistemon, Eucalyptus, Hakea, Darwinia, Fern and Grevillea, named after Australian flora.
