Wikipedia Abstract

Melaleuca pulchella, commonly known as claw flower and claw honey-myrtle, is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south of Western Australia. It is one of only two species of Melaleuca to have two kinds of stamens. (The other is Melaleuca violacea). The outer stamens are longer and curved, giving the appearance of a claw to the flower. It is a hardy shrub flowering over a long period and has been a popular garden plant for many years.
