Title: A Myrtacea to be ID
Post by: violapinnata on December 12, 2013, 11:51:14 AM

Hello, i took these photos just two days ago in a garden on Menton (near Nice, France). I think it is an australian myrtacea, perhaps a Leptospermum, perhaps a Chamelaucium. Moreover it can be well an hybrid as many other plants in that garden...can you help me in it identification?

Possibly Thryptomene calycina, The Grampians Heath Myrtle?
cheers

Many many thanks! It 's definitely a Thryptomene, may not T. calycina. More likely a Thryptomene saxicola 'FC Payne' (Thryptomene paynei)
