Melaleuca ericifolia
''Melaleuca ericifolia'', commonly known as swamp paperbark, is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and the genus ''Melaleuca'', native to south-eastern Australia. It is a rather variable species and some specimens resemble ''Melaleuca armillaris'' but its papery bark and smaller, more prolific flower heads distinguish it from that species. It often grows in swampy areas and the draining and clearing of these has reduced the numbers of the species, especially around Port Philip Bay near Melbourne. It is also similar to ''Melaleuca pustulata'', a Tasmanian endemic, but that species only grows in dry heath.
==Description==
''Melaleuca ericifolia'' is a tall, dense shrub, sometimes a tree growing to a height of with pale white or brownish papery bark. Its leaves are arranged alternately, sometimes in whorls of three. The leaves are dark green, linear in shape, long and wide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://fe.yarraranges.vic.gov.au/Residents/Yarra_Ranges_Plant_Directory/Middle_Storey/Trees_3-25m/Melaleuca_ericifolia )〕
The flowers are creamy-white in colour, arranged in heads or spikes on the ends of branches which continue to grow after flowering. The spikes are up to in diameter and long and contain 10 to 40 individual flowers. The petals are long and fall off as the flowers age. The stamens are arranged in five bundles around the flower, each bundle containing 7 to 14 stamens. Flowers appear from October to November in the species' native range and are followed by fruits which are woody capsules long and diameter, arranged in oblong cylinders along the stems.〔〔〔〔
