Melaleuca hypericifolia
''Melaleuca hypericifolia'', commonly known as hillock bush, is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, genus ''Melaleuca'' and is endemic to New South Wales in Australia. It has large, orange to red flower spikes and consequently is a commonly cultivated species. In 1797, James Smith described the plant as:
''"The most beautiful of the genus. It grows in swampy ground ...is plentiful in the English gardens, and was generally taken for an Hypericum, till it lately produced, in several collections near London, its elegant flowers."''
==Description==
''Melaleuca hypericifolia'' is a large woody shrub or small tree growing to in height, with greyish papery bark. Its leaves are arranged in alternate pairs (decussate), long, wide, narrow elliptic in shape with a central groove on the upper surface.
The flowers are red to orange, arranged in a spike, usually on the older wood. The spike is up to in both diameter and length and contains up to 40 individual flowers. The petals are long and fall off as the flower ages. The stamens are arranged in five bundles around the flower with 16 to 25 stamens per bundle. The flower spikes appear in spring and summer and are followed by fruits which are woody, oval-shaped capsules long with the sepals remaining as teeth around the rim. As the plant ages, the capsules become compressed together.〔〔〔
