Leptospermopsis Incana
''Leptospermopsis incana'' is a species of compact shrub that is endemic to Western Australia. It has hairy young stems, elongated egg-shaped leaves on a short petiole, relatively large white or pink flowers and fruit that fall from the plant when mature. Description ''Leptospermopsis incana'' is a compact shrub that typically grows to a height of with peeling bark on the older branches and younger stems with soft, fine hairs pressed against the surface. The leaves are an elongated egg shape, mostly about long and wide. The flowers are white or pink, wide and are borne singly or in pairs on short side shoots. The floral cup is about long and is covered with flattened silky hairs on a pedicel long. The sepals are triangular, about long, the petals about long and the stamens long.
