Correa alba Andrews, the Botany Bay Tea tree from California<\/a>:
\nCorrea alba<\/i> Andrews
\nBotany Bay Tea Tree
\n<\/b>This interesting Australian shrub cultivated here in California<\/span> really tested my botany. I started from appearance of flower, tetramerous flowers and 8 stamens to look for some species of Daphne<\/i>, only to learn that it has both calyx and corolla and fruit a capsule splitting into four parts, not expected of Daphne<\/i>. Key in the Manual of cultivated Plants led me to family Ericaceae<\/i> to find that it does not match any listed there. Only when I uploaded to TAXACOM that I received a suggestion from Prof. Stevens (who maintains APWeb website) that it could be Correa<\/i>, a member of Rutaceae<\/i>. Only when I tried to pull apart corolla lobes that I found these are connivent petals and not fused petals.

Wonderful saga of how to search for an unknown…
\n<\/span>PS <\/span>so this plant is also a salt tolerant white flowered one… just like the <\/span>Carissa<\/i> macrocarpa<\/i>…
\n<\/span>I find the superficial similarities quite interesting… one from Australia another from south africa.. both grown in California…<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I think yes, based on statement from Wikipedia:
\n“The species occurs in sandy or rocky areas in coastal areas of south-eastern Australia south of <\/span>Port Stephens<\/a>“<\/span><\/p>\n
