Leptospermum oreophilum

Leptospermum oreophilum, commonly known as the rock tea tree,[1] is a shrub that is endemic to the Glass House Mountains in southern Queensland.

It has firm, rough bark on the older stems, elliptical leaves with a short, blunt point on the tip, relatively large white flowers arranged singly on side shoots and fruit that remains on the plant until it dies.

[3][4] The specific epithet (oreophilum) is derived from ancient Greek, meaning "mountain-loving", referring to the mountain-top habit of this species.

[3][5] This tea-tree grows in shallow soil in rocky places on the Glass House Mountains.

[3] This species is classified as "vulnerable" under the Queensland Government Nature Conservation Act 1992.
