Melaleuca pomphostoma is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

It is similar and closely related to Melaleuca bracteosa but differs in the colour and number of stamens in each flower.

Melaleuca pomphostoma is a shrub which grows to about 1.5 m (5 ft) tall with thick, rough, slightly spongy grey bark.

[2][3][4] Melaleuca pomphostoma is similar to Melaleuca bracteosa but differs from it in having fewer stamens (M. bracteosa has 7 to 11 per bundle), a different leaf shape and distinctive, numerous, white raised stomata, which are barely visible with a hand lens, on the leaf blades.

[2] This melaleuca is confined to the Ravensthorpe district and the eastern end of the Fitzgerald River National Park[4] in the Esperance Plains biogeographic region[7] where it usually grows in sand or clayey loam[8] Melaleuca pomphostoma is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.
