Leptospermum coriaceum
Also called Green teatree, Mallee Teatree
Gaudium coriaceum, known as green tea-tree or mallee tea-tree, is a spreading Australian shrub of mallee and heath on sand dunes, reaching about 2 m. It is a species of the Myrtle family, and it is rarely grown outside its native range, so the notes below apply to growing it in a similar sandy, dry-summer climate.
Gaudium coriaceum, commonly known as green tea-tree or mallee teatree, is a shrub species that is endemic to south-eastern and south-central Australia. It has smooth bark on the younger stems, elliptic to narrow egg-shaped leaves, white flowers and woody fruit. The usual habitat is mallee on sand dunes.
Gaudium coriaceum grows in mallee and heath in deep sandy soil on sand dunes from southern South Australia and north western Victoria to south of Cobar in inland New South Wales.
