Correa lawrenceana var. macrocalyx is a variety of Correa lawrenceana and is endemic to New South Wales. It is a shrub with leathery, egg-shaped to broadly egg-shaped leaves, and cylindrical, greenish yellow flowers arranged in leaf axils or on the ends of short branchlets.
Correa lawrenceana var. macrocalyx is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 1–4 m (3 ft 3 in – 13 ft 1 in) and has leathery, egg-shaped to broadly egg-shaped leaves 40–80 mm (1.6–3.1 in) long and 30–70 mm (1.2–2.8 in) wide with woolly hairs on the lower surface. The flowers are borne singly or in twos or threes in leaf axils or on the ends of short branchlets on stalks 20–57 mm (0.79–2.24 in) long. The calyx is deeply cup-shaped, 5–10 mm (0.20–0.39 in) long with a slightly wavy rim, and covered with rust-coloured hairs. The corolla is cylindrical, 20–30 mm (0.79–1.18 in) long and greenish yellow. Flowering mostly occurs in spring.[2][3]
