Melaleuca vinnula

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

It is a shrub with narrow leaves, heads of white to yellow flowers followed by tight clusters of fruit and it is found in the wheatbelt.

Melaleuca vinnula is a multi-stemmed shrub growing to a height of 2.5 m (8 ft) with grey, peeling papery bark.

[2]This species was first formally described in 2004 by Lyndley Craven and Brendan Lepschi in Australian Systematic Botany[3] when they (with others) examined the group originally known as Melaleuca uncinata.

"[2] Melaleuca vinnula occurs between Coorow and Southern Cross in the Avon Wheatbelt and Coolgardie biogeographic regions in the south-west of Western Australia, where it grows in sandy or clayey soils or loam on granite.
