Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox
Eucalyptus diptera, commonly known as the two-winged gimlet,[1] is a mallet that is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It has smooth greenish to brownish bark, linear to lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of three, each with two wings along the sides, creamy white to pale lemon-coloured flowers and cup-shaped to hemispherical fruit, also with two wings on the sides.
Description
Eucalyptus diptera is a mallet that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt but can reach as high as Шаблон:Cvt with smooth, shiny, spirally fluted, greenish to brownish bark. It does not form a lignotuber. Young plants and coppice regrowth have dull bluish green leaves arranged alternately and broadly lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are glossy green, linear to narrow lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of three, the groups and individual buds more or less sessile. Mature buds are oval, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with two wings along the sides of the floral cup. The operculum is conical and Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs between February and May or August and September and the flowers are creamy white to pale lemon-coloured or yellow-green flowers. The fruit is a woody, sessile cup-shaped to hemispherical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with two wings along the sides.[1][2][3][4]
Taxonomy
Eucalyptus diptera was first formally described by the Cecil Andrews from a specimen he collected "in flower north of Esperance". The description was published in the Journal of the West Australian Natural History Society.[5][6] The specific epithet (diptera) is derived from the Ancient Greek prefix di- meaning "two"[7]Шаблон:Rp and pteron meaning "wing",[7]Шаблон:Rp referring to the wings on the sides of the flower buds and fruit.[3]
Two-winged gimlet is one of the nine species known as gimlets, noted for their smooth, shiny twisted trunks. As with other mallets, it does not develop a lignotuber but grows from seed when the adult tree is killed by fire.[3][8]
Distribution and habitat
This gimlet is found on flats in inland areas, growing in open shrubland or as thickets in the Wheatbelt and Goldfields-Esperance regions between Lake Grace and Norseman.[1][2]
Conservation status
Eucalyptus diptera is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[1]
Use in horticulture
This plant is sold commercially and makes a good ornamental or shade tree. It prefers a full sun position, will tolerate drought and moderate frost, and grow in coastal locations.[9]
