This is Asteromyrtus symphyocarpa. Used to be included in the genus Melaleuca but with all the revisions that go on a few Melaleucas were shifted into this new genus. The inflorescences form a ball with a diameter of about 3 or more centimetres (1.5 inches). It's a small tree growing up to about 10 metres high.
