| Resumo: |
It has been observed that _Melaleuca cuticularis_ Labill. has the ability to secrete salt solution to the surface of its stem. No literature has been found to illustrate other species' capacity to secrete salts at the stem and with what little literature there is on _M. cuticularis_ under saline conditions ^1, 2^, there was no evidence documented by those authors to have witnessed salt secreting at the stem. Most recorded observations of salt secretion by plants has usually been on leaf salt secretion through specialized glands or bladders often in mangroves, salt bushes and grass species, among others ^3-8^. This observation is the first known record of a plant species capable of secreting salts mostly at the stem.
