Leptospermum jingera, commonly known as stringybark tea-tree, is a shrub species that is endemic to Victoria in Australia. It grows up to 2 metres high and has small, narrow leaves that are about 10 mm long and 3 mm wide. White flowers with five, rounded petals appear between November and January in the species native range.[2]
The species was first formally described in Australian Systematic Botany in 1996, based on plant material collected from Brumby Point on the Nunniong Plateau in the Alpine National Park.[1] The species is listed as "vulnerable" on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Advisory List of Rare Or Threatened Plants In Victoria.[3]
