Melaleuca crossota Craven & R.D.Edwards Regelia ciliata is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
It is a rigid, spreading shrub with paper-like bark on the stems, tiny wedge shaped leaves and dense heads of mauve flowers in spring and summer.
Flowering occurs over an extended period in spring and summer and is followed by fruit which are woody capsules in small, almost spherical clusters around the stem.
[5][6] The specific epithet (ciliata) is derived from the Latin word cilium meaning "eyelash"[7] in reference to the fringe of hairs on the leaves.
[2] This regelia occurs in the Moore and Vasse River districts in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions.
