Or Melaleuca williamsii, not sure which name we prefer on here.

@natureguy you are correct. I found this:
Melaleuca williamsii Craven, 2006, replaced synonym Callistemon pungens Lumley & Spencer, 1990

@natureguy I know threatened species officers still using Callistemon pungens, though technically, it's been moved to Melaleuca (I had to write a very annoying paper on this for UNE...)

I've gone with C pungens as DCCEEW SPRAT profile/NSW threatened species profile still using that name.

It appears that the Australian Plant Name Index favours Callistemon pungens
