Melaleuca ID

Can I get help identifying this native in my area, Castlereagh area NSW. Is it Mel. Ericifolio? Looking at it for potential "yamadori".
Thanks, Matt

Hi Matt,
The papery bark is reminiscent of Mel. Ericifolia but the spherical seed pod doesn't ring true to me so I lean towards it being something else ... what though - dunno!

That's what I thought. I have a Melaleuca field guide and a Sydney region field guide and wasn't convinced, based on the seed pods. Any other takers?

How about M nodosa? It has the same leaves and pods, but i am not sure about that bark.

Plantnet is a great ID source for NSW. You can search based on species or location. Local area of Penrith yields 5 Mel species. a quick check of these gives M. nodosa as a very likely match
