Leptospermum parvifolium
Gaudium parvifolium, known as lemon-scented tea-tree, is a small shrub from eastern Australia, usually grown as a garden or native plant rather than a houseplant. It does best in full sun and well-drained, sandy or rocky soil, with little fertilizer.
Gaudium parvifolium, commonly known as lemon-scented tea-tree, is a species of shrub that is endemic to eastern Australia. It has thin, rough bark, egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, white or pink flowers, and fruit with the remains of the sepals attached but that is shed when the seeds are mature.
Gaudium parvifolium grows in dry sclerophyll forest on shallow soils, especially in sandy and rocky areas. It is widespread and common on the northern and central slopes and tablelands of New South Wales, and on the south coast as far south as Nowra. It has also been recorded in south-eastern Queensland.
