In 1990, the species Melaleuca fulgens was separated into 3 subspecies. This subspecies has a disjunct distribution but is nevertheless very similar to the other two, only differing the colour of the flowers and small differences in the leaf shape and length of the stamens. As with the other subspecies, this one is notable for its showy flowers which are usually a shade of pink to mauve but its foliage and fruits are also attractive features. DescriptionMelaleuca fulgens subsp. corrugata is an erect, woody shrub growing up to {{convert|3|m|ft|sigfig=1}} high and wide with glabrous branchlets. Its leaves are arranged in alternating pairs at right angles to those immediately above and below (decussate) so that the leaves are in four rows along the stems. The leaves are {{convert|10-25|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long, {{convert|1-4|mm|in|sigfig=1}} wide, narrow elliptic in shape with the outer edge of the leaves curled upward and inward. There are many distinct oil glands and a mid-vein visible on the lower surface of the leaves[1][2][3]The flowers are a shade of white to pink or mauve and are arranged in spikes on the sides of the branches. The spikes are up to {{convert|30|mm|in|sigfig=1}} in diameter and {{convert|30|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and contain 6 to 20 individual flowers arranged in a decussate pattern. The stamens are arranged in five bundles around the flower, each bundle containing 22 to 80 stamens. The stamen filaments are {{convert|11-13|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long. The flowers appear from April to September and the fruits which follow the flowers are woody capsules, {{convert|6-9|mm|in|sigfig=1}} in diameter, shaped like a squashed urn and arranged in alternating pairs along the stems.[1][2] Taxonomy and namingThe first valid, formal description of Melaleuca fulgens subsp. corrugata was in 1957 by John McConnell Black in Flora of South Australia as Melaleuca corrugata.[4] In 1990, in a review of the species by Kirsten Cowley, Frances Quinn, Bryan Barlow and Lyndley Craven in Australian Systematic Botany,[5] Melaleuca corrugata was recognised as Melaleuca fulgens subsp. corrugata.[6] The specific epithet (corrugata) is a Latin adjective meaning "wrinkled"[7] referring to the wrinkled sides of the fruiting capsules.[1] Distribution and habitatMelaleuca fulgens subsp. corrugata occurs in and between the Petermann, Musgrave and Rawlinson Ranges near the border of Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory.[1] It grows in orthent along watercourses.[8]References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|last1=Brophy|first1=Joseph J.|last2=Craven|first2=Lyndley A.|last3=Doran|first3=John C.|title=Melaleucas : their botany, essential oils and uses|date=2013|publisher=Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research|location=Canberra|isbn=9781922137517|pages=172–173}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q28813636}}2. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Holliday|first1=Ivan|title=Melaleucas : a field and garden guide|date=2004|publisher=Reed New Holland Publishers|location=Frenchs Forest, N.S.W.|isbn=978-1876334987|pages=112–113|edition=2nd}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Melaleuca corrugata|url=http://www.flora.sa.gov.au/cgi-bin/speciesfacts_display.cgi?genus=Melaleuca&species=corrugata|publisher=State Herbarium of South Australia: electronic flora of South Australia|accessdate=6 May 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Melaleuca corrugata|url=https://biodiversity.org.au/boa/instance/apni/510013|publisher=APNI|accessdate=6 May 2015}} 5. ^{{cite journal|last1=Cowley|first1=KJ|last2=Quinn|first2=FC|last3=Barlow|first3=BA|last4=Craven|first4=LA|title=Contributions to a revision of Melaleuca (Myrtaceae): 7–10|journal=Australian Systematic Botany|date=1990|volume=3|issue=2|page=172|doi=10.1071/SB9900165|url=http://www.publish.csiro.au/paper/SB9900165.htm|accessdate=6 May 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Melaleuca fulgens subsp. steedmanii|url=https://biodiversity.org.au/boa/instance/apni/552291|publisher=APNI|accessdate=6 May 2015}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=corrugatus|url=https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/corrugatus#Latin|publisher=Wiktionary|accessdate=6 May 2015}} 8. ^{{cite book|last1=Paczkowska|first1=Grazyna|last2=Chapman|first2=Alex R.|title=The Western Australian flora : a descriptive catalogue|date=2000|publisher=Wildflower Society of Western Australia|location=Perth|isbn=978-0646402437|page=393}} 7 : Melaleuca|Flora of Western Australia|Flora of South Australia|Flora of the Northern Territory|Myrtales of Australia|Plants described in 1990|Plant subspecies |
