Native I.D. please

Post by Alan Peck »

Can anyone please i.d. this for me. They are in very wet ground around Jervis Bay coastline.
I feel like it's a Melaluca family as it has papery bark but more brittle, drier and darker than a std paperbark. Leaves are not prickley. At the moment there are no flowers. :fc:

I'd guess some sort of Leptospermum. Maybe Leptospermum trinervium?

More info like leave size, overall tree height etc will help with a successful id.

Is that in your back yard? Looks like great material!

Cheers,
Pearcy.
