Botanical description

Species are generally shrubs and trees that grow (depending on the species) from 2 to 30 m tall, often feature bark that sheds in scaly plates.

Leaves are perennial, alternately arranged, oval to lanceolate, 1 to 25 centimeters long and 0.5 to 7 centimeters wide, with an entire margin, dark green to gray-green.

Flowers are produced in dense clusters along the stems, each flower with small thin petals and a tight pack of stamens. Color of the flowers varies from white to yellow, to pinkish greenish, or pale red.

Fruit is a small capsule containing numerous tiny seeds.

Genus melaleuca is very close to callistemon, the main difference between the genera is that the stamens are generally free in callistemon but are grouped in packages in melaleuca.

In nature, melaleuca plants are usually found in forest, woodland or open scrub, particularly along streams and the edges of swamps.
