Melaleuca striata is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, and is endemic to the south of Western Australia. It has distinctive leaves and heads of pink to mauve flowers, usually in late summer.
Although difficult to grow, M. striata often produces a massed display of pink to mauve flowers mostly between November and January, making it a showy plant in the garden. It is hardy in a well-drained soil in full sun or in acidic, sandy soils in areas where winter rains exceed 400 mm (20 in).
This melaleuca occurs in coastal areas between Albany and Israelite Bay including the Stirling Range and Cape Arid national parks in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographic regions. It grows in heath, shrub and scrub vegetation associations in sandy and gravelly soils.
