ABSTRACT
Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) S.T Blake (Plates 21–23) is common in New Caledonia, especially on the western coast where it dominates the many flat and hilly savannahs of this region. It has been given several specific names, in particular M. leucadendron L., which is now recognised as a complex of ten species and M. viridiflora Sol. Ex Gaertner, with which it has often been mistaken (Dawson 1992; This volume, Chapter 1). <italic>Melaleuca quinquenervia</italic>, tree form. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429219658/356624ca-a2bb-4287-9d89-171b87c33084/content/plate_21.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> <italic>M. quinquenervia</italic>, niaouli, tree form, SE Queensland, Australia (I.
