can anyone identify this plant please?
Isle of Wight,
United Kingdom 
This is a plant I noticed in the Botanics in Ventnor the other day and it didn't have a label. It smelled of a citrus/pine and is evergreen. The picture is a close up, but the far away picture is on my blog Ventnor Botanics - frost damage written on the 11th Jan

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was a Callistemon, but they do look very different depending on the variety, thanks Poaannua

I've been growing callistemon linearis since 1996 and it is perfectly hardy here although it did suffer a bit in its first winter. Last March, I added callistemon viridiflorus beside a west-facing fence in very well-drained soil and it doesn't seem to have suffered at all in the cold winter weather so far
