Melaleuca strobophylla is a shrub or small tree in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
It has papery bark, sharply pointed, twisted leaves and rather long spikes of creamy white flowers in summer.Melaleuca strobophylla is large shrub or small, spreading tree which grows to a height of 4–12 m (10–40 ft) with a bushy crown and white, papery bark.
The leaves are arranged alternately, 4.5–12.5 mm (0.2–0.5 in) long, wide, flat but twisted, narrow elliptic in shape and taper to a sharp point.
The flowers appear between January and April and also in November and are followed by fruit which are woody capsules 2–4 mm (0.08–0.2 in) long, mostly scattered along the branches.
