Native to New Zealand, Australia and the Malay Peninsula, pine plum is a hardy evergreen shrub in the peach family. It is named because its leaves resemble pine leaves and flowers resemble red plums, and its double-petaled flowers resemble peonies, so it is also known as "pine leaf peony". Although its flowers are not large, they are bright in color and beautiful in shape, with both single petals and double petals, and the flowers are diverse, including red, pink, pink, pink, milky white and other colors. Strong cold resistance, but not resistant to high temperature and dryness. It is the national flower of New Zealand, and its leaves are commonly used in New Zealand to make tea, so it is called New Zealand tea tree (New Zealand tea tree) or Tea tree (tea tree), and it is called manuka in Māori, which is a honey source. Japan believes that its leaves resemble tamaya (御willi) and flowers resemble plum blossoms, so it is called tamayagi plum, omayagi plum or fish willow plum. It can be seen that different cultural cognitions lead to different ways of naming plants.
