Previously identified as Leptospermum continentale https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/3872171. What are the features to check to see which is correct?

Leptospemum continentale has sharply pointed leaves and the upper leaf surface is concave (creased inwards), the leaves of L. obovatum have a small downward pointing point and has somewhat paddle shaped flat leaves
