Melaleuca diosmatifolia is a shrub with hard, rough grey bark growing to a height of about 1.5 m (5 ft).

[2][3][4]Melaleuca diosmatifolia was first formally described in 1811 by Georges Louis Marie Dumont de Courset in Le Botaniste Cultivateur.

[5][6] The specific epithet (diosmatifolia) refers to an apparent similarity of the leaves of this species to those of Diosma.

It is hardy, growing successfully in a wide range of soils, including those that are poorly drained.
