Calothamnus schaueri is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a small, spreading, sometimes prostrate shrub, growing to a height of about 0.6 metres (2 ft) with cylindrical leaves 100–200 millimetres (4–8 in) long. It has brownish red flowers from August to December.^[1]^[2] The flowers have 4 petals and 4 narrow bundles of stamens. (In 2014 Craven, Edwards and Cowley proposed that the species be renamed Melaleuca planifolia.)^[3]

Calothamnus schaueri was first formally described by Johann Lehmmann in 1842 in Delectus Seminum quae in Horto Hamburgensium botanico e collectione.^[4] The specific epithet (schaueri) honours Johannes Schauer.

Calothamnus schaueri occurs near Albany in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Warren biogeographic regions^[1] where it grows in swamps near granite outcrops.^[5]

Calothamnus schaueri is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian government department of parks and wildlife.^[1]
