Australians
Australians, colloquially known as Aussies, are the citizens, nationals and individuals associated with the country of Australia. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or ethno-cultural. For most Australians, several (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being Australian. Australian law does not provide for a racial or ethnic component of nationality, instead relying on citizenship as a legal status. Since the postwar period, Australia has pursued an official policy of multiculturalism and has the world's eighth-largest immigrant population, with immigrants accounting for 30 percent of the population in 2019. Between European colonisation in 1788 and the Second World War, the vast majority of settlers and immigrants came from the British Isles (principally England, Ireland and Scotland), although there was significant immigration from China and Germany during the 19th century. Many early settlements were initially pen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Melaleuca Punicea
''Melaleuca punicea'' is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, and is endemic to the Northern Territory in Australia. Some of the characteristics of this species make it difficult to classify at the genus level. After it was originally described in 1984 as ''Melaleuca punicea'', it was transferred in 1986 to the genus ''Regelia'' (as ''Regelia punicea'') but it did not fit well in that genus either. In 1999 it was transferred again to a new genus ''Petraeomyrtus'' as ''P. punicea''. Subsequent molecular studies, especially of chloroplast DNA have suggested that it is best placed in ''Melaleuca'' along with others from genera including '' Beaufortia'', ''Callistemon'' and ''Regelia''. Later publications include this species as ''Melaleuca punicea''. Description ''Melaleuca punicea'' is a spreading shrub growing to about tall. Its leaves are long and wide, with no apparent stalk, narrow triangular in shape, and almost crescent shape in cross section. The flowers are bright r ...
