Leptospemum

Post by SteveW »

Figure this is a leptospemum. Any ideas on which species?
Flowering now on mid-North coast of NSW.

Could be either of these Leptospermum continentale or Leptospermum polygalifolium. Hope that helps

My guess is Leptospermum polygalifolium 'White Wave' as others have said...

Thanks guys. I'll go with polygalifolum, as its leaves aren't prickly (L. continentale).
