Melaleuca armillaris, Smith (M. alba, Hort.). Tall graceful shrub with slender leafy twigs, glabrous throughout: lvs. narrowly linear, ½ - ¾in long, not 1 line wide, the tip very slender and usually curved: fls. white, in cylindric spikes often 2 in. or more long, the axis protruding and leafy before the buds open; stamens ¼ in. long, the ribbon-like claw about equaling the distinct filaments: caps, with broad base partly embedded in the rachis. Bot. Cook's First Voy. 114. — The best of the white-fld. melaleucas, especially because of its slender drooping branchlets and absence of barren twigs. The knotted fr.-clusters, so objectionable in some species, are not evident in this.
