Melaleuca scabrida (A.S.George) Craven & R.D.Edwards Calothamnus scabridus is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

The stamens are a shade of pink to bright red and are arranged in 4 claw-like bundles, each about 23–28 millimetres (0.9–1 in) long.

Flowering occurs from October to December and is followed by fruits which are smooth, woody, roughly spherical capsules, 3–4 millimetres (0.1–0.2 in) long.

[2] Calothamnus scabridus occurs north of Denmark in the Jarrah Forest biogeographic region[4] where it grows in loamy soil derived from granite.

[2] Calothamnus scabridus is classified as "Priority Two" by the Western Australian government department of parks and wildlife[4] meaning that it is poorly known from a few locations, some of which are in reserves.
