Melaleuca acacioides, commonly known as coastal paperbark[2] and as lunyamad by the Bardi people,[3] is a plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae, and is native to the far north of Australia and the island of New Guinea.

[4] The flowers are white to cream and arranged in spikes, sometimes at the tips of the branches and sometimes in the leaf axils.

Flowers appear in winter and spring and are followed by woody capsules 1.6–2.3 mm (0.06–0.09 in) long grouped in clusters along the stem.

[4][5] Melaleuca acacioides was first described in 1862 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae.

[4] Aboriginal people used the leaves of Melaleuca acacioides (and of M. argentea and M. leucadendra) as flavouring in cooking.
