It is a spreading, moderately dense, perennial, woody shrub with creamy-white flowers in small clusters. DescriptionMelaleuca undulata grows to a height of about {{convert|0.3-2|m|ft|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} spreading to {{convert|2|m|ft|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} or more. Its leaves are arranged alternately, mostly lance-shaped to oval, {{convert|3-15|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|1.5-4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide and slightly hairy. The flowers are arranged in heads up to {{convert|27|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} in diameter scattered along the branches, with 1 to 18 flowers in each head. The flowers mainly appear from October to March and are white to cream. The stamens are arranged in bundles of five around the flower, with 8 to 30 stamens in each bundle. The base of the flower is glabrous and {{convert|1.2–2.5|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long. The woody capsules are {{convert|2.5–4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long.[1][2] Taxonomy and namingMelaleuca undulata was first formally described in 1867 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis.[3][4] The specific epithet (undulata) is derived from the Latin undulatus meaning "wavy"[5] "in reference to the leaf blade being wavy".[2]Distribution and habitatThis melaleuca occurs from the Stirling Range – Broomehill district eastwards to the Israelite Bay district. It grows in mallee and heath, in swampy and areas, river beds and edge of clay pans in sand, clay on laterite gravel.[2] ConservationMelaleuca undulata is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.[6]Use in horticultureThis is a hardy species suitable as a low, informal, prickly hedge. It will grow in most soils and aspects.[7] References1. ^{{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=70|edition=2nd}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q15371454}}2. ^1 2 {{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=373|location=Canberra|isbn=9781922137517}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Melaleuca undulata|url=https://biodiversity.org.au/boa/instance/apni/545581|publisher=APNI|accessdate=14 March 2015}} 4. ^{{cite book|last1=Mueller|first1=Ferdinand|title=Flora Australiensis, volume 3|date=1866|location=London|page=154|url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/41807#page/143/mode/1up|accessdate=14 March 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=826}} 6. ^{{FloraBase|name=Melaleuca undulata|id = 5985}} 7. ^{{cite book|last1=Wrigley|first1=John|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|pages=270–271|edition=2nd}} 5 : Melaleuca|Myrtales of Australia|Flora of Western Australia|Plants described in 1867|Endemic flora of Western Australia |
