Baeckea leptophylla is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is native to Western Australia.[2]
The species was first formally described in 1852 by Nikolai Turczaninow who gave it the name Harmogia leptophylla in the Bulletin de la Classe Physico-Mathématique de l'Académie Impériale des Sciences de Saint-Pétersbourg from specimens collected by James Drummond.[3][4] In 1923, Karel Domin changed the name to Baeckea leptophylla.[5] The specific epithet (leptophylla) means "thin-leaved".[6]
