Correa lawrenceana var. glandulifera, commonly known as the mountain correa,[2] is a variety of Correa lawrenceana and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a shrub or small tree with egg-shaped leaves and greenish yellow flowers arranged singly or in groups of up to five with woolly hairs on the outside.
Correa lawrenceana var. glandulifera is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 3–6 m (9.8–19.7 ft) or a tree to 12 m (39 ft) with egg-shaped to lance-shaped leaves 40–80 mm (1.6–3.1 in) long, 20–35 mm (0.79–1.38 in) wide and woolly- hairy on the lower surface. The flowers are borne singly or in groups of up to five on the ends of branchlets on a peduncle about 4 mm (0.16 in) long, each flower on a pedicel 4–10 mm (0.16–0.39 in) long. The calyx is hemispherical, about 2 mm (0.079 in) long with a wavy edge, and the corolla is narrow cylindrical, 22–27 mm (0.87–1.06 in) long, greenish yellow and woolly hairy on the outside.
