It is a broom-like shrub with many stiff, ascending branches and spikes of white or pale mauve flowers in spring or summer.

[5][6] The specific epithet (hamulosa) is from the Latin word hamus meaning "a hook",[7] "in reference to the recurved apex of the leaves of this species".

[2] Melaleuca hamulosa occurs in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee and Yalgoo biogeographic regions.
