Melaleuca sylvana |
Melaleuca sylvana is a plant in the myrtle family (Myrtaceae) and is endemic to a small area near Ravenshoe in Queensland, Australia. Described in 2004, it is similar to Melaleuca monantha with its tiny leaves and heads of white flowers, but differs by being a larger, single-stemmed shrub or tree with a less dense crown.[1]
