This plant was from family Myrtaceae because it had numerous stamens and inferior ovary.

It belonged to genus Leptospermum as flowers were solitary and free white petals. Leaves were alternate, small and rigid.

I’ve identified this plant as Leptospermum laevigatum because leaves were broadly obtuse, 15–30 mm long, 5–8 mm wide, which differ from the coriaceum specie.

This plant is in the family Myrtaceae because it is a woody shrub with white flowers, cup shaped fruit capsules and leaves that contain translucent oil glands. There are 5 sepals and petals but many stamens which are long and conspicuous.

It is in the genus Leptospermum because the leaves are alternate, small and rigid with entire margins. The bark is smooth and papery. Bracts are imbricate, the hypanthium is glabrous, silky and tapers. Petals are obovate, there are numerous stamens around the hypanthium.

I have identified this species as Leptospermum laevigatum because the capsules are green and non-woody containing 10 chambers. All other Tea-trees have 5 chambers.

This plant is in the Mytaceae family due to the aromatic leaves, flowers with five sepals and numerous stamens and inferior ovary.

It is in the leptospermum genus due to it being a small shrub, leaves that are arranged alternately and relatively small with entire margins. The flowers are sessile in axils of bracts on condensed shoots, 5 petaled, stamens shorter than petals.

The plant was identified as Leptospermum Trinervium as there were 4 species of Leptospermum in the city of Ryde flora and fauna surveys for the field of mares reserves, which included Leptospermum Arachnoides, Leptospermum Parvifolium, Leptospermum Polygalifolium and Leptospermum Trinervium.

Leptospermum Arachnoides's leaves were too wide and lanceolate shaped rather than broad-obovate.

Leptospermum parvifolium's leaves were too long to be the correct species.

Leptospermum polygalifolium's leaves were too wide and the sepal and ovary were of a different colour from the observed pant.

Thus Leptospermum Trinervium is the species as both leaves and flowers fits the observed plant.

This plant is in the Myrtaceae family because the stamens are numerous and showy, and the leaves are scleromorphic in character. The leaves are also aromatic when crushed.

It’s in the Leptospermum genus because the stamens are shorter than the petals (5 petals on each flower), with alternate, usually rigid leaves that are aromatic when crushed. The fruit is a woody capsule, and flower buds don’t have a cap (calyptra) before emerging.

L. trinervium because the bark is very thin and flaky on most branches, and has small leaves with entire margins (usually 1-6mm wide), that are approximately 10-20mm long. The flower petals are white, and the hypanthium is also covered in short hairs.

It’s not Leptospermum petersonii because the leaves are too narrow and long, and the younger stems are too smooth. The flowers are similar, but the sepals aren’t triangular, and are too green. It’s also not Leptospermum laevigatum because the flower’s stamens aren’t as numerous, and the sepals are the wrong colour, although similar in shape. The leaves are also too rounded, and the bark isn’t as flaky.
