Leptospermum Scoparium is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae, native to New Zealand, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and the Chatham Islands.
It is a prolific scrub-type tree and is often one of the first species to regenerate on cleared land. It is typically a shrub growing to 2 - 5 m tall, but can grow into a moderately sized tree, up to 15 m or so in height. It is evergreen, with dense branching and small leaves 7 - 20 mm long and 2 - 6 mm broad, with a short spine tip. The flowers are white, occasionally pink, 8 - 15 mm in diameter, with five petals.
Evidence suggests that Leptospermum Scoparium originated in Australia before the onset of the Miocene aridity, and dispersed relatively recently from eastern Australia to New Zealand. It has been postulated that on arrival in New Zealand, Leptospermum scoparium became established in limited edaphically suitable areas until the arrival of the Polynesian people. It is now found throughout New Zealand, but is particularly common on the drier east coasts of the North and South Islands, and in Australia in Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales.
Mānuka (from Māori) is the common name used along with "Jelly Bush" and "Tea Tree" in Australia and to a lesser extent also in New Zealand. This name arose because Captain Cook used the leaves to make a "tea" drink.
Aromatherapy specialists gives priority to Manuka oil from New Zealand. Manuka essential oil is about 100 different compounds. Compared with other representatives of the family (Myrtle essential), Manuka essential oil is quite unique. Ethereal oil is very important trichetones (Triketone) - leptospermone and favesone. It is particularly important that manuka is grown birthplace - New Zealand. In Australia growing Manuka essential oil has many times less trichetones (Triketone).
Monoterpenes, which gives the Manuka ethereal oil particularly good antibacterial properties, appears only in the fourth year of life of the plant, vital triketones accumulate only in certain geographical areas for growing plants. Manuka essential oil from The East Cape region of New Zealand has been confirmed as having the highest antimicrobial activity. There is evidence indicating that it is up to 20 times more potent than Australian Tea Tree oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia).
Mānuka sawdust imparts a delicious flavour when used for smoking meats and fish. It is cultivated in New Zealand for Mānuka honey, produced when honeybees gather the nectar from its flowers, and for the pharmaceutical industry.
