It has distinctive leaves and heads of pink to mauve flowers, usually in late summer. DescriptionMelaleuca striata is a spreading shrub usually no more than {{convert|1|m|ft|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall with papery grey or white bark. The leaves are arranged alternately along the stem, mostly {{convert|6-12|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|1-1.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide, linear to narrow elliptic in shape, and with three prominent, parallel longitudinal veins.[1]The flowers are a shade of pink or mauve, and arranged in heads at the ends of branches which continue to grow after flowering and sometimes also in the upper leaf axils. The heads are up to {{convert|17|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} in diameter, {{convert|40|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and contain up to four groups of flowers in threes. The stamens are arranged in five bundles around the flower, each bundle with 7 to 13 stamens. Flowering occurs from August to February but mainly in early summer. The fruit which follow are woody capsules {{convert|3.5-4|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long in oval or oblong clusters up to {{convert|10|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} in diameter and {{convert|25|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long.[1][2] Taxonomy and namingMelaleuca striata was first formally described in 1806 by the French biologist, Jacques Labillardière in Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen.[3][4] The specific epithet (striata) is derived from the Latin stria meaning a "furrow", "channel" or "pleat"[5] referring to the striated appearance of the leaves.[1]Distribution and habitatThis melaleuca occurs in coastal areas between Albany and Israelite Bay[1] including the Stirling Range and Cape Arid[2] national parks in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographic regions.[6] It grows in heath, shrub and scrub vegetation associations in sandy and gravelly soils.[1] ConservationMelaleuca striata is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.[6]Use in horticultureAlthough difficult to grow,[2] M. striata often produces a massed display of pink to mauve flowers mostly between November and January,[7] making it a showy plant in the garden.[8] It is hardy in a well-drained soil in full sun[8] or in acidic, sandy soils in areas where winter rains exceed {{convert|400|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}}.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{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=342}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q15371299}}2. ^1 2 3 {{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=1876334983|pages=270–271|edition=2nd}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Melaleuca striata|url= https://biodiversity.org.au/boa/instance/apni/544344|publisher=APNI|accessdate=24 April 2015}} 4. ^{{cite book|last1=Labillardière|first1=Jacques|title=Novae Hollandiae plantarum specimen|date=1806|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qQ9JAAAAcAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q=striata&f=false|accessdate=24 April 2015}} 5. ^{{cite book|last1=Brown|first1=Roland Wilbur|title=The Composition of Scientific Words|date=1956|publisher=Smithsonian Institution Press|location=Washington, D.C.|page=763}} 6. ^1 {{FloraBase|name=Melaleuca striata|id = 5971}} 7. ^{{cite web|last1=Archer|first1=William|title=Melaleuca striata|url=http://esperancewildflowers.blogspot.com.au/2011/04/melaleuca-subfalcata-bottlebrush.html|publisher=Esperance Wildflowers|accessdate=21 May 2016}} 8. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Wrigley|first1=John W.|last2=Fagg|first2=Murray|title=Australian native plants : a manual for their propagation, cultivation and use in landscaping|date=1983|publisher=Collins|location=Sydney|isbn=0002165759|edition=2nd}} 5 : Melaleuca|Myrtales of Australia|Flora of Western Australia|Plants described in 1806|Endemic flora of Western Australia |
