Callistemon recurvus is a shrub or small tree species in the family Myrtaceae. It is native to the state of Queensland in Australia.
The species was first formally described by Roger Spencer and Peter Lumley in 1990 in Muelleria.[1] In his 2006 paper, New Combinations in Melaleuca for Australian Species of Callistemon (Myrtaceae), Lyndley Craven, a research botanist from the Australian National Herbarium, proposed that this species should be renamed as Melaleuca recurva.[1]
