Melaleuca cajuputi is commercially produced in Vietnam, China and Indonesia. Formerly believed to originate from Melaleuca leucadendra L.
Family Myrtaceae. Same genus as tea tree (M. alternifolia) and niaouli (M. quinquenervia).
Eucalyptus oil may be added or substituted. Oils from M. quinquenervia or M. symphyocarpa are also used to blend. Fixed oils or kerosene are occasionally used as adulterants.
