Botanical name : Melaleuca quinquenervia
Family : Myrtaceae
Plant/part : leaves
Extraction : steam distillation of leaves
Habitat : it is native to the southeast coast of Australia, up to Sydney, New Caledonia (on the west coast and in the north of the Territory) and New Guinea. Niaouli has been introduced to French Guiana, East Africa (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania), Egypt, Cameroon, Benin, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Madagascar.
The niaouli is a tree usually of medium size (from 4 to 12 m) but can reach 25 m. It often has a tortuous, rarely straight silhouette. The trunk is covered by a whitish bark, more than a centimeter thick, fluffy but laminated in numerous layers that detach in wide strips. The young twigs are densely silky and the young leaves whitish, hairy and shiny.
Like most species of the genus Melaleuca, niaouli is characterized by persistent, fragrant leaves, placed on a vertical plane. The leaves are lanceolate to oblanceolate, leathery, 5 to 9 cm long, 0.6 to 2.4 cm wide. They are crossed by 5 parallel ribs.
The terminal inflorescences are false spikes, 4 to 8 cm long and about 3 cm wide. The flowers are usually white or creamy white (rarely yellow) and are grouped into groups of three. Each has 5 free sepals, 5 petals (with linear and elliptical glands) and numerous stamens (from 30 to 40, grouped into 6-9 bundles).
In New Caledonia, flowering and fruiting are spread throughout the year, depending on weather conditions. The flowers are pollinated by bees, birds (particularly parakeets) and fruit bats.
The fruits are small capsules, cup-shaped, glabrous, containing thousands of seeds.
