LEPTOSPERMUM, Forst. 
Tm, WOOrOOnOOran, n. sp. (Aboriginal name for Bellenden-Ker.) 
Trunk often extending in an almost horizontal position for several 
yards at from 3 to 6 feet above the ground, 2 or 3 feet diameter, with 
a thick stringy bark, from which branches arise to 20 or 30 ft., thus 
forming a large spreading-headed tree of dense foliage. This peculiar 
growth is due probably to the high winds which blow at certain seasons 
of the year. Leaves alternate, lanceolate, i to f in. long, 2 to 2|- 
lines broad in the centre, midrib and a marginal nerve on each side 
prominent, oil- dots numerous, with blunt, glandular, slightly recurved 
apex, base decurrent forming angles on the branchlets, slightly silky 
when young, as are also the young shoots. No flowers seen. Capsules 
solitary or 2 together at the ends of the short branchlets; calyx-tube 
glabrous, 5-ribbed, corresponding with the 5 cells, nearly sessile, 
slightly over 2 lines diameter; the capsule prominent above the calyx- 
tube. 
Hab. : South Peak, Bellenden-Ker, and so far as at present known only 
found there. The wood is strong, heavy, and of a reddish colour. 
L. SCOparium, Forst. ; Char. Gren. 48 ; Fl. Austr. iii. 105. Captain 
Cook's Tea-tree. 
It was one of the several forms of this plant which was used by the seamen of 
Captain Cook's vessel for making tea, hence the name " Tea-tree " for this and 
several other Leptospermums, Melaleucas, and allied shrubs, erroneously at times 
written " Ti-tree," a Maori name for a Cordyline.
