Melaleuca lasiandra
Melaleuca lasiandra is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is native to the northern inland of Australia. Its foliage is covered with soft, silky hairs giving the leaves a silvery-grey appearance and even the filaments of the stamens are hairy.
Melaleuca lasiandra is a hardy shrub for arid areas, requiring full sun and good drainage.
This melaleuca occurs in the tropical north-west of Australia including the northern half of Western Australia, the Northern Territory and the central-west of Queensland. It grows in a variety of soils and vegetation associations but is common in the depressions between sand dunes.
