This species of Calytrix grows in callitris country on stony ridges, near a creek, in heathy scrub on sandstone slopes and on granite outcrops from the Coen district to near Hughenden in north Queensland.
Calytrix leptophylla is listed as of "least concern" under the Queensland Government Nature Conservation Act 1992.[4]
