Melaleuca seriata is a shrub in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. In describing it, John Lindley wrote "Melaleuca seriata, parviceps, and trichophylla, are bushes, every twig of which is terminated by hemispherical heads of a brilliant pink." It is very similar to Melaleuca parviceps.
Melaleuca seriata has been successfully cultivated in well-drained soil in temperate areas with low humidity.
This melaleuca occurs in and between the Coorow, Green Head, Perth, Bunbury, Wyalkatchem and Lake King districts in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions. It usually grows in sand over laterite or clay on sandplains and depressions which fill in winter.
