History and Origin
Originally from New-Caledonian tree malenia leucodendron. Niaouli, named that way by the Native people, is mainly from New-Caledonia. It provides, with melaleuca cajeputi from the Moluccas, the essence of niaouli (cajuput) to the perfumery industry (Journ. offic. 9 sept. 1875, p. 7703, 1st col.)
