owned this for about year,
always thought it was a mel raph, but flowers say otherwise.
Only an assumption but i think it was collected around the perth hills.
some kind of tea tree?
flowers are about 8mm across
much thanks in advance.
anyone got an ID

Re: anyone got an ID
There are many WA plants I don't know so may be way of. Foliage and flowers look a lot like Astartea sp which happen to be WA natives. Have a search and see if any of them match your tree.

Re: anyone got an ID
thanks for the replies shibui and KCAR.
both great guesses, i really think it could be either.. going to treat it like a lepto for now anyway.
