Cajeput oil is a volatile oil obtained by distillation from the leaves of the myrtaceous tree Melaleuca leucadendra (also called Melaleuca cajeputi), and probably other Melaleuca species.
The granite areas have two types one is an area covered by Xanthorrhoea preissii, Gastrolobium calycinum with a Borya herbfield and the other is dominated by Melaleuca, Dodonaea also with a herbfield of Borya.
They are similar in size and shape, being oval, about 1.6 km long by 1.3 km wide, with large central areas of open water when full and with shorelines vegetated with concentric fringes of the introduced bulrush Typha orientalis, sedges, paperbarks and other plants tolerant of seasonal waterlogging.
It contains Melaleuca swamp forest, freshwater reed marsh, and a mangrove-lined creek, surrounded by urban development.
Melafix (a proprietary name) is an all-natural aquarium antibiotic consisting of an essential oil of the Melaleuca genus.

Contrary to popular opinion it is not made from the common Tea tree, Melaleuca alternifolia, but from Melaleuca leucadendra, also known as the Cajeput Tree.
King also built the walkers' accommodation and airstrip and in 1975 was made a Member of the Order of Australia for his services to the community.
Apsley Marshes contain areas of woody vegetation dominated by paperbarks, some saltmarsh, large areas of Common Reed and freshwater aquatic herbland.
In 1988 she adopted a traditional name: Oodgeroo (meaning "paperbark tree") Noonuccal (her tribe's name).
In Australia the Paperbark Flycatcher inhabits tropical eucalypt woodlands, paperbark woodlands and dry riverine woodlands.
It was named by colonial settlers who noticed the native tea trees, scientific name Melaleuca lancialata chipolata, being used for spears by the Yugul Aboriginal people.
Dominant vegetation in association with its habitat include Melaleuca or Eucalyptus species.
Its typical habitats include damp sandy soils on creekbanks, receding waterholes, or Melaleuca woodlands.
Its typical habitats are moist sand in Eucalyptus or Melaleuca communities, near creekbanks, or associated with sandstone landscapes.
Its typical habitat has been reported as either damp sandy soils in eucalypt woodlands, near creeks in the company of Melaleuca species or on sandstone plateaux with Triodia species.
Its habitat is recorded as being moist sandy soils on flat or gently sloping terrain, sometimes in areas dominated by Melaleuca species.
It grows as a terrestrial species in wet grasslands or Melaleuca-Acacia savannas at low altitudes near sea level.

Introduced plants, grazing and burning have had a heavy impact on the original vegetation, of which there are remnant communities of Poa and Stipa species at the western end of the island, as well as patches of Melaleuca and Casuarina scrub.
Reports describe this species as dependent on grassy woods made up of Melaleuca, Acacia, Alphitonia and Tristania.
Pearson Island, the second largest of the whole Investigator Group, and containing its highest point at 231 m above sea level, is vegetated with shrub and heathland with patches of Casuarina and Melaleuca woodland.
Fruit and flowers form the bulk of their diet, including native grasstrees (Xanthorrhoea spp.), and tea-tree (Melaleuca spp.), Loranthus, and the introduced loquat (Eriobotrya japonica).
Preiss is commemorated in the names of about 100 species of flora in Western Australia, including plants in the genera Acacia, Allocasuarina, Eucalyptus, Grevillea, Hakea, Kunzea, Melaleuca, Santalum, Xanthorrhoea and Callitris.
The land is mostly gently undulating calcareous plains with eucalypt–melaleuca–myall woodlands and chenopod shrubland interspersed with saltbush shrubland and bindii grassland.
Others used were mulga, wodjil, pine, and Tea tree, based on where it could be found close to where the fence was to be built.
The exposed and more infertile areas, particularly around the extreme south-west, consist largely of low growing native grasses such as the unusual buttongrass, heaths, and hardy melaleucas.
