It is a shrub with rough bark and heads of white flowers on the ends of its branches in spring and early summer. DescriptionMelaleuca teuthidoides is a shrub growing to about {{convert|3|m|ft|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall with rough, grey fissured bark. Its leaves are arranged alternately, {{convert|2.5-8|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|0.9-1.3|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide, very narrow oval in shape and semicircular in cross section.[1]The flowers are white and arranged in heads or spikes on the ends of branches which continue to grow after flowering and sometimes in the upper leaf axils. Each head or spike contains 3 to 9 individual flowers and is up to {{convert|20|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} in diameter. The stamens are arranged in five bundles around the flowers and there are 12 to 16 stamens per bundle. The main flowering period is from September to January and is followed by fruit which are woody capsules {{convert|4-5.5|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long.[1][2] Taxonomy and namingMelaleuca teuthidoides was first formally described in 1988 by Bryan Barlow and Kirsten Cowley in Australian Systematic Botany.[3][4] The specific epithet (teuthidoides) is derived from the Ancient Greek words teuthis meaning "squid"[5]{{rp|531}} and the suffix εἶδος (eîdos) meaning "likeness"[5]{{rp|483}} referring to the sepals' resembling the arms of a squid.[1]Distribution and habitatThis melaleuca occurs in and between the Marvel Loch, Ravensthorpe and Balladonia districts[1] in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains and Mallee biogeographic regions.[6] The plants grow in sand or clay in depressions that fill with water after rain.[7] ConservationMelaleuca teuthidoides is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.[6]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|page=356}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q15371553}}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|page=294|edition=2nd}} 3. ^{{cite journal|last1=Barlow|first1=BA|last2=Cowley|first2=KJ|title=Contributions to a revision of (Myrtaceae): 4–6|journal=Australian Systematic Botany|date=1988|volume=1|issue=2|page=110|doi=10.1071/SB9880095|url=http://www.publish.csiro.au/paper/SB9880095.htm|accessdate=26 April 2015}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|title=Melaleuca teuthidoides|url= https://biodiversity.org.au/boa/instance/apni/544931|publisher=APNI|accessdate=26 April 2015}} 5. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Brown|first1=Roland Wilbur|title=The Composition of Scientific Words|date=1956|publisher=Smithsonian Institution Press|location=Washington, D.C.}} 6. ^1 {{FloraBase|name=Melaleuca teuthidoides|id = 5979}} 7. ^{{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=398}} 5 : Melaleuca|Myrtales of Australia|Flora of Western Australia|Plants described in 1988|Endemic flora of Western Australia |
