It grows to the height of a small tree with small, scale-like leaves that are pressed against the branches, and has a papery bark and a weeping habit. DescriptionMelaleuca tamariscina is a shrub to small tree {{convert|15|m|ft|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall with white to grey, papery bark and pendulous foliage. Its leaves are arranged alternately, {{convert|0.5-4.3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|0.5-1.2|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide, oval to egg-shaped, half-moon shape in cross section and tapering to a point. The leaves are pressed against the stem and there are indentations in the stem matching the outline of each leaf.[1]The flowers are white, creamy white or mauve and are arranged in spikes on the sides of the branches, each spike containing 5 to 25 groups of flowers in threes and is up to {{convert|18|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} in diameter and {{convert|30|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. The stamens are arranged in five bundles around the flowers and each bundle contains 5 to 18 stamens. Flowering occurs at various times throughout the year and is followed by fruit which are woody capsules {{convert|2-3.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long.[1][2][3] TaxonomyA formal description of Melaleuca tamariscina by English botanist William Jackson Hooker was first published in Thomas Mitchell's Journal of an Expedition into the Interior of Tropical Australia.[4] Mitchell had collected the plant on 4 August 1846.[5] The specific epithet (tamariscina) is a reference to the similarity of the leaves of this species to a member of the Tamarix genus.[1] Distribution and habitatMelaleuca tamariscina occurs on the Great Dividing Range in and between the Torrens Creek and Jericho districts.[1] It often grows in boggy places and sometimes on sandstone ridges.[3]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|page=354|location=Canberra|isbn=9781922137517}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q15371388}}2. ^{{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=150, 290|edition=2nd}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Townsend|first1=Keith|title=Melaleuca tamariscina|url=http://sgaptownsville.org.au/Melaleuca-tamariscina.html|publisher=Society for growing Australian plants; Townsville branch|accessdate=26 April 2015}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|title=Melaleuca tamariscina|url=https://biodiversity.org.au/boa/instance/apni/544616|publisher=APNI|accessdate=26 April 2015}} 5. ^{{cite book|last1=Mitchell|first1=Thomas|title=Journal of an expedition into the interior of tropical Australia|date=1848|page=262|url=http://www.gutenberg.org/files/9943/9943-h/9943-h.htm|accessdate=26 April 2015}} 4 : Melaleuca|Flora of Queensland|Plants described in 1848|Taxa named by William Jackson Hooker |
