Melaleuca linearis seeds grow into the narrow-leaved honey-myrtle a slender, erect, evergreen shrub native to the subtropical biome of eastern Australia, from southern Queensland south through New South Wales, growing in sandy heathland and dry sclerophyll forest. Described by Schrad. & J.C.Wendl. (Schrader and Wendland). The epithet linearis means 'linear' (from Latin), referring to the very narrow, linear, almost needle-like leaves the most immediately diagnostic character of this species. Produces white to cream, cylindrical honey-myrtle flower spikes along the branches; the linear leaves create a fine, feathery texture unique among the eastern Australian Melaleuca. Family Myrtaceae.

Full sun; well-drained, sandy or poor soils; drought-tolerant; subtropical to warm-temperate conditions. Fine-textured linear-leaved honey-myrtle.
