Melaleuca styphelioides 061213-0857
Appin, New South Wales.
One of the 'paperbark' Melaleucas, this species can make a tree up to 15 m tall, with shapely conical crown and leaves with slightly prickly points. Not as floriferous as some of the other paperbarks, hardly worth growing for its flowers. A common understorey tree in coastal swamp forest that is only occasionally inundated, it also occurs at altitudes up to almost 1000 m, in shallow moist gullies of the tablelands.
