Melaleuca quinquenervia, known as the Broad-leaved paperbark, is a tree native to south-eastern Australia. It derives its common name from its grey and beige papery bark.
Commonly used as a street tree or plant for public parks and gardens, it is well known and familiar tree to many Australians. Unfortunately it has become a serious weed in Florida where it was introduced to drain swamps.
