Leptospermum sejunctum is a shrub that is endemic to the Nowra district in New South Wales. It has thin, grey bark, lance-shaped to elliptical leaves, white flowers and fruit that remain on the plant at maturity.
Leptospermum sejunctum is a shrub that typically grows to a height . It has thin, grey bark, the younger stems more or less glabrous with a conspicuous flange. The leaves are elliptical to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, long and wide with a blunt tip and tapering at the base but without a petiole. The flowers are borne singly on short side shoots from adjacent leaf axils. There are pale reddish-brown bracts and the floral cup is glabrous, about long. The sepals are broadly egg-shaped, about long and the stamens are about long. The fruit is a capsule about in diameter, the sepals having fallen off, and that remains on the plant when mature.[1] [2]
Leptospermum sejunctum was first formally described in 1989 by Joy Thompson in the journal Telopea, based on plant material collected near Nowra in 1981.[3] The species is named for its location, separate from the somewhat similar L. variabile and L. oreophilum.
