Kunzea ambigua was named after Gustav Kunze, a 19th-century German botanist — ironically, Kunze never visited Australia. The genus contains over 50 species, all endemic to Australasia.

У парфумерії
Kunzea (Kunzea ambigua) provides a fresh, peppery-herbal top note. Alpha-pinene (30-40%), 1,8-cineole (15-25%), viridiflorol. Functions in Australian-native, clean, and herbal compositions. Softer than eucalyptus, more peppery than tea tree. Pairs with other Australian natives (fragonia, lemon myrtle, buddha wood) for regional accords.
