Melaleuca bisulcata is a small shrub, up to about 1.3 m tall, from a small area of Western Australia's west coast around Kalbarri. It is grown mainly as a garden or native plant in mild, dry-summer climates, and it is hard to tell apart from Melaleuca psammophila.
Melaleuca bisulcata is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to a relatively small area on the west coast of Western Australia. It is difficult to distinguish this species from Melaleuca psammophila except on differences in the shape of the calyx lobes.
This melaleuca occurs in the Kalbarri district in the Geraldton Sandplains and Yalgoo biogeographic regions of Western Australia. It grows in sand, clayey sand and gravel over laterite on sandplains and roadsides.
