Gaudium microcarpum

Leptospermum microcarpum

Gaudium microcarpum, also known as Leptospermum microcarpum, is a tea-tree shrub from eastern Australia that grows 1 to 2 m or more with small white flowers. It is a wild species of rocky mountains and cliff edges rather than a common garden plant, so care is mainly about mimicking its native conditions.
