A small Australian plant with fine needle-like leaves, sometimes called desert rose or broom heath.
From modern Latin, likely from Greek kore (maiden) or related to botanical nomenclature. Used as a genus name in plant taxonomy.
Corema belongs to the Ericaceae family (heathers), which adapted to survive in harsh, nutrient-poor soils by developing partnerships with fungi—a relationship called mycorrhizae that helps them thrive.
