Kunzea ericoides (A. Rich.) Joy Thomps. - Myrtaceae - syn. Kunzea peduncularis F. Muell.; Leptospermum ericoides A.Rich.\\
Kānuka, kanuka, white tea tree, **Kanuka**

Shrub or tree up to 15m high, native to New Zealand; leaves solitary or fascicles of 3-5, linear to narrow-lanceolate, acute, not pungent. [[http://www.nzflora.info/factsheet/Taxon/Kunzea_ericoides.html]]

There are three different species of Myrtaceae which are known as 'Tea-tree' in Australia and New Zealand: the Australian Tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia), the New Zealand Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) and Kanuka (Kunzea ericoides).

"Kanuka oil was characterized by high levels of α-pinene (>50%) and lower levels (<10%) of [[http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1055931.html|viridiflorol]] and viridiflorene." \\

Kanuka oils contained [[http://www.thegoodscentscompany.com/data/rw1036941.html|pinocarveol]] (0.2%) as marker terpene and showed a characteristic pattern of sesquiterpenes. Only four of them, namely ledol, (E)-nerolidol, viridiflorol and spathulenol, are present in a percentage of more than 1.0%. \\

Main components of an essential oil from K.ericoides (collected in an arboretum in Minas Gerais, Brazil), were α-pinene (54.5%), 1,8-cineol (16.4%), α-terpineol (5.7%), γ-terpinene (4.1%), and viridiflorol (3.3%). \\

"Kānuka oil is clearly differentiated from its relative Mānuka oil (Leptospermum scoparium) due to the high percentage of α-pinene and absence of β-triketones... The yield of essential oil can vary from 3-5 litres per tonne of foliage, which again is a higher yield than mānuka. The highest yield (0.6%) is Autumn (April) just as flowering ends and lowest (0.2%) in spring (October)." Main constituents present in Kānuka oil samples were α-pinene (60-74%), 1,8-cineol (4-8%), linalool (2-4%), and viridiflorol (1-4%). \\
