Melaleuca /ËmÉlÉËljuËkÉ/ is a genus of nearly 300 species of plants in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, commonly known as paperbarks, honey-myrtles or tea-trees (although the last name is also applied to species of Leptospermum). They range in size from small shrubs that rarely grow to more than 1 m (3 ft) high, to trees up to 35 m (100 ft).
magnet noun [ C ] (OBJECT) âº an object that is able both to attract iron and steel objects and also push them away.
Magnets are usually made from metals (such as iron) or alloys (mixtures of metals, or of a metal and a nonmetal). Magnets come in different strengths, often measured in units called gauss (G) or, alternatively, units called tesla (T; 1 T = 10,000 G).
