Until 1983, Kānuka was classified as being in the genus Leptospermum. Mānuka ([[Leptospermum Scoparium]])and kānuka are superficially similar species and are often confused with one another. The easiest way to tell the difference between them is to feel the foliage, kānuka leaves being soft, while mānuka leaves are prickly
