Leptospermum rupestre is a flowering shrub in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. It is endemic to Tasmania. In alpine areas it assumes a prostrate habit while in subalpine areas it appears as a large shrub.[1] The species was first formally described in 1810 by botanist Robert Brown who observed it growing on rocky outcrops on Mount Wellington and nearby mountains.[2]
