It features strap-like leaves with distinct veins and spikes of pinkish flowers, the buds of which are covered with short, soft, silky hairs. DescriptionMelaleuca fabri is a shrub growing to {{convert|1.5|m|ft|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} tall with leathery, strap-like leaves that are arranged alternately, {{convert|35-110|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|6.5-15|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} wide. The leaves are flat but slightly wavy, with the end tapering to a sharp point and there are 3 or 5 (sometimes 7) distinct parallel veins.[1][2]The flowers are a shade of pink to purple and are arranged in spikes on the ends of branches which continue to grow after flowering, often also on the sides of the branches. The spikes are up to {{convert|35|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} in diameter and composed of 12 to 18 groups of flowers in threes. The outer edge of floral cup and the parts of the flowers covering the buds are covered with short, soft, silky white hairs. The petals are {{convert|2.3-4|mm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and fall off as the flower ages. There are five bundles of stamens around the flower, each with 9 to 13 stamens. Flowering occurs in spring and is followed by fruit which are woody capsules {{convert|3-4.5|mm|in|sigfig=2|abbr=on}} long, in tight clusters along the stem.[1][2] Taxonomy and namingMelaleuca fabri was first formally described in 1999 by Lyndley Craven in Australian Systematic Botany from a specimen collected south of Morawa.[3][4] The specific epithet (fabri) is from the Latin faber meaning “artisan" or "workman”[5] in honour of the Smith family who have helped botanists studying the flora of the Wongan Hills and Manmanning districts.[1]Distribution and habitatThis melaleuca occurs in and between the Morawa, Perenjori, Wubin and Mount Gibson districts[1] in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains and Yalgoo biogeographic regions[6] where it grows in shrubland, mallee and on roadsides in sand or sandy loam.[7] ConservationMelaleuca fabri 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=161}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q6811021}}2. ^1 {{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=108–109|edition=2nd}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Melaleuca fabri|url=https://biodiversity.org.au/boa/instance/apni/561700|publisher=APNI|accessdate=5 May 2015}} 4. ^{{cite journal|last1=Craven|first1=L.
