Leptospermum spectabile is a shrub species that is endemic to New South Wales, Australia. It grows to 3 metres high and has narrow leaves that are about 20 to 35 mm long and 3 to 5 mm wide. The dark red flowers are about 20 mm in diameter and appear between October and November in the species native range.[2]
