This was a L. trinervium (never heard of it before) screenshot from the Mirai stream by Hugh Grant from Tree Makers:

This was a collected tree which has been in a grow box with the roots stabilised and reduced over 7 years until this iteration. The design concept was pretty interesting regarding how Hugh defined the "Australian" aesthetic for the lepto, mel and callistemon species. A summary of this was:
- Line based design that centres around blending straight lines with undulating curves
- Australian trees tend to have much more elongated proportions and thinner, lankier trunklines
- Branch lines tend to be more vertical/upright and closer to the trunk
- Secondary structures are similar to deciduous in an arrow formation
- Fine branching tends to be arranged as flatter pads in the lower sections of the tree
- There tends to be multiple apices and they have an upright parachute structure where the branching are akin to parachute strings under a foliar dome
