''Melaleuca megacephala'' is a plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is native to the south-west of Western Australia. It is distinguished by its large, hemispherical heads of yellow and white flowers on the ends of the branches and the overlapping brown bracts under them. ==Description== ''Melaleuca megacephala'' is an erect, bushy shrub with rough bark and brittle branches which grows to high and wide. Its leaves are arranged alternately on the stems, oval to elliptic in shape, concave, long, wide and with 3 to 5 longitudinal veins. The flowers are arranged in hemispherical heads, mostly on the ends of branches which continue to grow after flowering. Papery brown, overlapping bracts surround the flower buds and remain under the open flowers. The filaments of the stamens are white but the anthers on their ends are yellow or cream coloured, giving the appearance of pale yellow flowers. The heads contain 4 to 12 groups of flowers in threes and are up to wide. The petals are long and fall off as the flower matures. The stamens are arranged in five bundles around the flower, each bundle usually containing 12 to 16 stamens. Flowering occurs from June to November but mainly in early spring. The fruits that follow are woody, cup shaped capsules long that are clustered along the stem.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://anpsa.org.au/m-meg.html )〕
