Australia has the lemon myrtle (Backhausia citriodora) which is native to the continent, as are members of the syzygium, tristania and eugenia families.

A laurel bush is considered a softwood. The term "softwood" typically refers to trees that are coniferous and have needle-like leaves, but in the case of shrubs like laurel, the wood is generally less dense and softer compared to hardwood species. Therefore, while laurel is not a tree, it is categorized with softwood characteristics in terms of its wood properties.
