  • Callistemon: The Scientific Name & Varieties of Bottlebrush Trees
    The scientific name for the Bottlebrush Tree is Callistemon (pronounced cal-liss-tee-mon).

    There are many different species within the genus Callistemon, with some of the most common being:

    * Callistemon citrinus: Commonly called the Crimson Bottlebrush

    * Callistemon viminalis: Weeping Bottlebrush

    It's important to note that the genus Callistemon has recently been reclassified and is now considered a subgenus of Melaleuca, so you may also see some of the species listed under the name Melaleuca as well.
