    •  Info -- its misleading to identify a species of plant in this forumn when I just dont have sufficient information make a positive identification... Melaleuca cuticularis[1] is the most likely but until it flowers I couldnt be certain then it would be based on the timing of the flower as the alternatives(M.laterifloria subsp acutifolia(next most likely), M.preissiana, M.incana) have the same flower colour descriptions of white/cream as well similar form and size descriptions. Add to this the photograph was taken some 200km(150miles) from home thats a round trip of +400km(300mi) its unlikely I be able to take multiple journies between Aug-Feb to make a visual identification I've already checked theres no online paper that has the flora for the area listed even if there was all four species would be expected to be listed as they are all identified as occuring in the area.

      • Then maybe you shouldn't nominate it? Aug - Feb is 7 months (?). During the (short) orchid season (May - June) I almost every weekend do a 500 km round rip. Which doesn't say that you should do the same of course... Identification shouldn't be misleading, BTW. If you're not confident about a positive ID, don't upload until you are sure. I can assure you from own experience that it sometimes will take quite a bit of effort (and time). Lycaon (talk) 19:46, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • It clearly shows the tree form of the genus Melaleuca which dominate the transitional land between waterways, lakes, swamps etc in the natural enviroment but I'm ok with calling it Melaleuca cuticularis because it probably is and if its considered that critical as the significant majority of people would not be able to distinguish the difference from that photograph on balance the likelyhood of an real issue is negligable.
