Melaleuca pulcherrima Craven & R.D.Edwards Beaufortia squarrosa, commonly known as sand bottlebrush,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia.

[3] It is sometimes a dense shrub, others straggling with 4 neat rows of small, oval leaves along the stems, and heads of red, orange or yellow flowers in the warmer months.

The leaves are crowded and arranged in alternating pairs (decussate) so that they make four rows along the stems.

[7] The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word squarrosus, meaning "rough with stiff scales, bracts, leaves or processes".

[9] Beaufortia squarrosa is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
