Baeckea utilis, commonly known as mountain baeckea,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia.

It is a shrub with elliptic to lance-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base and white flowers, usually with eight stamens.

Baeckea utilis is a slender, erect shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 3 m (9.8 ft) and has wiry stems.

[2][3][4] Baeckea utilis was first formally described in 1856 by Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel in Nederlandsch Kruidkundig Archief from an unpublished description by Ferdinand von Mueller.

[7] Mountain baeckea grows in heath, forest or alpine herbfields and is common at higher altitudes south from Dorrigo in New South Wales, through the Australian Capital Territory to eastern Victoria.
