Coastal paperbark

About

Melaleuca acacioides, commonly known as coastal paperbark, as lunyamad by the Bardi people, and as mbenjin in Wasur (Indonesia), is a plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae, and is native to the far north of Australia and the island of New Guinea. It is closely related to Melaleuca alsophila and Melaleuca citrolens, being differentiated from them by the number of flowers in a group. In this species, they are in groups of three. It is a small to medium-sized tree, sometimes with several trunks when growing in the open. It usually grows in areas with saline soils that are regularly flooded, often near mangroves.
