Melaleuca lateritia, also known as the robin redbreast bush, is a plant in the myrtle family that is native to the south-west region of Western Australia. It is a popular choice for cultivation due to its attractive flowers and ability to thrive in various climates. This medium-sized shrub has thin, light green leaves and produces bright orange-red flowers in spikes from August to April. The flowers are followed by woody capsules that can last for many years. This plant is found in swampy areas with sandy soil and is not considered threatened. It is commonly grown in horticulture and is adaptable to different growing conditions. Its flowers also attract honeyeaters, making it a popular choice for gardens in Canberra.
