"The air up there was wonderfully fresh and smelled aromatically of manuka scrub patching warm, tussocky earth." (from Photo Finish, by Dame Ngaio Marsh)
Manuka scrub, sometimes called tea tree, is a flowering plant in the myrtle family native to New Zealand and southeast Australia. Tussock grasses or bunch grasses are a group of grass species clumps, tufts, hummocks, or bunches, rather than forming a lawn.
