Melaleuca nervosa, commonly known as fibrebark,[2] is a shrub or tree in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to northern Australia.

Melaleuca nervosa grows to 2–15 m (7–50 ft) tall, has erect branches and papery-fibrous bark which may be grey, cream, brown or white.

[10][11] The specific epithet (nervosa) is a Latin word meaning "sinewy",[12] referring to the distinctive leaf veins of this species.

It occurs in a wide range of habitats including alluvium, sandy soils, along watercourses, in damp depressions and red sand dunes.

[6] The bark of M. nervosa is used to make coolamons for carrying food and other items and cutting into the trunk provided fresh water.
