Melaleuca citrina, communément nommée Fleur-goupillon, Rince-bouteilles ou Rince-bouteille, est une espèce de plantes à fleurs de la famille des Myrtaceae. C'est un arbuste endémique de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud et Victoria en Australie. Certains herbiers, de tous pays, utilisent encore le nom de Callistemon citrinus ou encore Callistemon lanceolatus qui est un nom plus ancien. C'est une espèce résistante et adaptable, commune dans son habitat naturel. Elle est largement cultivée, non seulement en Australie, où elle est souvent connue sous le nom Callistemon citrinus. C'était l'une des premières plantes australiennes cultivées hors du pays, ayant été amenées en Angleterre en 1770 par Joseph Banks. Ses pics voyants de fleurs rouges, présents la plupart de l'année dans une situation idéale, expliquent sa popularité.

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Callistemon citrinus has left across the world's sequence archives.
At a glance
★ the standard DNA barcode for this group — the short region actually read to tell this species apart. The rest are extra genes sequenced along the way.
The complete instruction manual Callistemon citrinus carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.
Genome sizehow big the whole instruction manual is
Measured in base pairs (bp) — the individual letters of DNA (human ≈ 3.2 Gb, a bacterium a few million). The chart places this genome on a logarithmic scale — each step to the right is ten times bigger — among reference organisms. Across species a bigger genome loosely tracks with larger cells, slower growth and lower-energy lifestyles (powered flight favours small genomes) — yet it does not imply more genes or a more advanced organism (the long-standing C-value paradox).
Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged
2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants.

Human sightings and records, or camera-trap / sensor detections — someone (or a device) saw or captured the species in the wild.

A living individual in a botanical garden, zoo or nursery — cultivated or kept, not free-living.

Cultivated / Captivenot free-living
A living individual in a botanical garden, zoo or nursery — cultivated or kept, not free-living.
Where the DNA of Callistemon citrinus was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
