==Description== ''Callistemon'' species have commonly been referred to as '''bottlebrushes''' because of their cylindrical, brush like [[flowers]] resembling a traditional bottle brush. They are mostly found in the more [[temperateness|temperate]] regions of Australia, especially along the east coast and typically favour moist conditions so when planted in gardens thrive on regular watering.{{citation needed|date=March 2019}} However, two species are found in [[Tasmania]] and several others in the south-west of [[Western Australia]]. At least some species are [[drought]]-resistant and some are used in ornamental landscaping elsewhere in the world.{{citation needed|date=March 2019}} [[Image:Bottlebrush seeds.jpg|thumb|right|Bottlebrush seed capsules]] [[Image:Bottlebrush03.jpg|''[[Callistemon citrinus]]''|thumb|right]] [[Image:Callistemon pallidus1.jpg|''[[Callistemon pallidus]]'' |thumb|right]] [[Image:Callistemon.jpg|''[[Callistemon viminalis]]''|thumb|right]] [[Image:Callistemon viminalis in an Adelaide garden.JPG|thumb|Callistemon viminalis in suburban Adelaide, South Australia.]] [[Image:C viminalis3.jpg|''Callistemon viminalis''|thumb|right]] [[File:Bottlebrush or Little John -- Dwarf Callistemon.jpg|thumb|Bottlebrush or Little John -- Dwarf Callistemon]]
