Melaleuca thymoides Endemic
Found near the coast and up to about 100 km inland from Perth past Albany all the way to Esperance, this is actually quite a common shrub. The Melaleuca Guide by Ivan Holliday though suggests that it might be one day found to be a plant from a different genus as not all the characteristics of Melaleucas are found in Melaleuca thymoides.
In some texts the common name is given as Sand Wattle Myrtle.
