It was originally named in 1923 by Karel Domin as a subspecies Melaleuca densa var. pritzelii[1] but raised to species status in 1992. It is a rare species, known only from a few plants in each of a small number of populations. DescriptionMelaleuca pritzelii is a shrub which grows to about {{convert|1.2|m|ft|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall with rough grey bark. The plant is glabrous except for the new growth when it first appears covered with matted hairs. Its leaves are usually arranged in opposite pairs at right angles to the pairs above and below (decussate) so that there are four rows of leaves along the branchlets. The leaves are {{convert|1.2-4.2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|1.2-3.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide, concave and egg-shaped tapering to a pointed end.[2][3]The flowers are cream coloured, arranged in heads on old wood or sometimes on the ends of branches and contain 4 to 14 individual flowers. The heads are up to {{convert|15|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The stamens are arranged in five bundles around the flower, each bundle containing 2 to 4 stamens. The flowering season is mainly early spring and is followed by the fruit which are cup-shaped woody or papery capsules {{convert|2.0-2.4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and about {{convert|4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} in diameter in clusters.[2][3] Taxonomy and namingMelaleuca pritzelii was first formally described in 1923 as Melaleuca densa var. pritzelii by Karel Domin but raised to species status in 1992 by Frances Quinn, Kirsten Cowley, Lyndley Craven and Bryan Barlow in Nuytsia,[4] noting that the species is probably not closely related to Melaleuca densa.[3] The specific epithet (pritzelii) honours Ernst Georg Pritzel, who collected the specimen described by Domin.[2]Distribution and habitatMelaleuca pritzelii is confined a few small populations in the Gnowangerup, Stirling Range and Bremer Bay districts[2] in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographic regions[5] where it grows in sandy or clayey soils in swampy areas.[6]ConservationMelaleuca pritzelii is classified as "Priority Three" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife[5] meaning that it is known from only a few locations and is not currently in imminent danger.[7]References1. ^{{cite web|title=Melaleuca densa var. pritzelii Domin|url= https://biodiversity.org.au/boa/instance/apni/510653|publisher=APNI|accessdate=17 April 2015}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q15372766}}2. ^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|page=291}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite journal|last1=Quinn|first1=Frances|last2=Cowley|first2=Kirsten|last3=Barlow|first3=Bryan|last4=Thiele|first4=Kevin|title=New names and combinations for some Melaleuca (Myrtaceae) species and subspecies from the south-west of Western Australia considered rare or threatened|journal=Nuytsia|date=1998|volume=8|issue=3|pages=343–345|url=https://florabase.dpaw.wa.gov.au/science/nuytsia/184.pdf|accessdate=17 April 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Melaleuca pritzelii|url= https://biodiversity.org.au/boa/instance/apni/552685|publisher=APNI|accessdate=17 April 2015}} 5. ^1 {{FloraBase|name=Melaleuca pritzelii|id = 13276}} 6. ^{{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=0646402439|page=396}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Conservation codes for Western Australian flora and fauna|url=http://www.dpaw.wa.gov.au/images/documents/plants-animals/threatened-species/Listings/conservation_code_definitions.pdf|publisher=Western Australian government department of parks and wildlife|accessdate=16 April 2015}} 5 : Melaleuca|Myrtales of Australia|Flora of Western Australia|Plants described in 1923|Endemic flora of Western Australia |
