The bottlebrush, typically called to as Callistemon viminalis, is a member of the family Myrtaceae and is well-known for the role it plays in several medicinal practices. An ornamental plant is notable for the many useful properties that it possesses. These properties include those that are antioxidant, moluscicidal, antibacterial, antifungal, allelopathic, anti-platelet aggregation, anti-quorum sensing, antiinfective, and antihelminthic. Additionally, it has been found that an ornamental plant possesses an effective insecticidal activity. This plant contains a wide variety of secondary metabolites, including, but not limited to, triterpenoid, monoterpenes, steroid, steroida l glycoside, phenolic, tetra deca hydro xanthene diones, flavonoids, essential oils, and pyrrole derivatives. It has been hypothesized, on the grounds of the findings of prior investigations, that the principal components of C. viminalis are monoterpenes. These monoterpenes are thought to be primarily responsible for the diverse array of biological activities that C. viminalis exhibits. The purpose of this review is to present information on the cultivation of the substance, as well as its morphology, microscopic studies, physiochemical characteristics, and phytochemical qualities, with the end objective of employing it more widely for the betterment of humans.
