Melaleuca pulchella
''Melaleuca pulchella'', commonly known as claw flower and claw honey-myrtle, is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south of Western Australia. It is one of only two species of ''Melaleuca'' to have two kinds of stamens. (The other is ''Melaleuca violacea''). The outer stamens are longer and curved, giving the appearance of a claw to the flower. It is a hardy, attractive shrub flowering over a long period and has been a popular garden plant for many years.
==Description==
''Melaleuca pulchella'' is a spreading shrub which may grow to high. The numerous arching branches bear many small leaves which are ovate to elliptic in shape and measure in length by wide. The leaves are crescent moon shaped in cross section and the undersides have large oil glands.
Appearing from September to February, sometimes in April or May, the flowers are pink to mauve in colour. They occur singly or in groups of up to four, forming small heads up to in diameter, mostly at or near the ends of the branches. The petals are long and fall off as the flower matures. There are five bundles of stamens around the flower, each with 45-100 stamens. Each bundle contains about 45 to 80 short, (sterile) stamens and 10 to 15 long, curved, outer stamens. Flowering is followed by fruits which are woody, urn-shaped capsules, long and about in diameter.〔〔
