Melaleuca basicephala is a rare shrub in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It grows to a height of 0.9 m (40 in) with glabrous branches and leaves that are 8–12.5 mm (0.3–0.5 in) long, 1.8–2.5 mm (0.07–0.1 in) wide, oval or tear-drop shaped and glabrous. The flowers are in heads on the previous year's shoots in groups of two to ten, the heads up to 10 mm (0.4 in) in diameter. It is found in dense swamps in the Augusta and Northcliffe districts in the Jarrah Forest and Warren biogeographic regions. It is classified as "Priority Four" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife, meaning that it is rare or near threatened and in need of monitoring.
