| Melaleuca
ericifolia is a very common species near the north,
north east and west coasts. It can be a tall shrub or small
tree and has obviously papery bark.
It is very similar to M.
pustulata. The most obvious difference is the
habitat - Melaleuca ericifolia grows on the
shores of estuaries and river banks, and occasionally in
boggy areas in wet places, whereas M. pustulata
grows in dry heathland near the east coast (rarely along
stream banks).
