Melaleuca tinkeri

Melaleuca tinkeri is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is one of the smallest melaleucas and is distinguished by its warty, hairy leaves, heads of pinkish flowers in late winter to spring and its spherical fruiting clusters.

This melaleuca occurs in the Nandanooka and Lesueur National Park areas in the Avon Wheatbelt and Geraldton Sandplains biogeographic regions. It grows in shallow, gravelly sand over laterite or granite.
