Eucryphia lucida, the leatherwood, is a species of tree or large shrub endemic to forests of western Tasmania, Australia.
Appearing in spring and summer, the 2.5–4 cm (1–1.5 in) diameter white flowers have four petals and resemble small single roses and have a strong fragrance, especially on warmer days.
[2] It is widespread and common in moister forests in Tasmania, occurring mainly across the western parts of the state, from the northwest in such places as the Tarkine and through the South West Wilderness.
Fossil leaves from Early Pleistocene sediments at Regatta Point in Western Tasmania show similarities to Eucryphia lucida and suggest a close relationship.
Much of the leatherwood is difficult to access, growing deep within the forests of Tasmania's wild west coast.
