Melaleuca linariifolia

Summary 6

Melaleuca linariifolia, popularly known as Snow-in-Summer, is a plant native to eastern Australia. Other names include Narrow-leaved Paperbark, Flax-leaved Paperbark and the Gadigal Budjur. The taxonomy of Melaleuca linariifolia has recently undergone revision and another species, Melaleuca trichostachya has been split out.

Description 6

Melaleuca linariifolia is found in heath and dry sclerophyll foresthabitats, usually growing near watercourses or swamps.

The tree grows to 5–10 metres (16–33 ft) high and 3–6 metres (9.8–19.7 ft) wide. It has distinctive and attractive creamy white papery bark. The tree bears perfumed, white flowers in early summer. The flowering can be profuse, covering the tree in white and giving rise to its common name.
