Kuntze Melaleuca megacephala is a plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is native to the south-west of Western Australia.

It is distinguished by its large, hemispherical heads of yellow and white flowers on the ends of the branches and the overlapping brown bracts under them.

Flowering occurs from June to November but mainly in early spring and the fruit which follow are woody, cup shaped capsules 4.5–7 mm (0.2–0.3 in) long that are clustered along the stem.

[2][3][4] Melaleuca megacephala was first formally described in 1862 by Ferdinand von Mueller in "Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae".

It is hardy in well-drained soil and responds well to pruning to ensure good flower set in the following season.
