Melaleuca oxyphylla, commonly known as pointed-leaved honey-myrtle,[2] is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, and is endemic to the Eyre Peninsula region of South Australia.

It has long, thin greyish branches, small clusters of white or cream flowers and leaves that are distinctively shaped and arranged.

The main flowering season is spring and is followed by fruit which are smooth, woody, roughly spherical capsules, 3.5–4 mm (0.1–0.2 in) long in scattered clusters along the branches.

[2][3][4]This species was first formally described in 1979 by John Carrick in Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens[5] from a specimen collected by David Symon in the Gawler Ranges, south-west of Yardea.

[3] Melaleuca oxyphylla occurs in the Eyre Peninsula, mostly between Minnipa and Cowell[3][4] growing along creeks in clay soils.
