Melaleuca societatis is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south west of Western Australia.
It is a dwarf shrub with small, fleshy leaves and many heads of pink or purple flowers in spring, followed by "soccer-ball" fruit.
Flowering occurs between August and January and is followed by fruit which are woody capsules, 2.5–3 mm (0.098–0.12 in) long in small, tight, spherical clusters along the stem.
[2][3] Melaleuca societatis was first formally described in 1999 by Lyndley Craven in Australian Systematic Botany from a specimen collected 16 kilometres (10 mi) south of Lake King.
[8] Melaleuca societatis is listed as "Not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.
