Leptospermum arachnoides, also known as the spidery tea-tree, is a shrub native to eastern Australia. It has rough bark, linear to lance-shaped leaves with a sharp point, white flowers, and hairy fruit. This slender shrub typically grows to 1-2 meters in height and has flaky bark. Its flowers are white and about 8-10 mm in diameter, blooming from November to January. The species was first described in 1788 and its name comes from the Latin word for "resembling a spider". It is found in moist heath and sclerophyll forest in southeastern Queensland and New South Wales.
