Description

Eucalyptus baeuerlenii is a mallee that grows to a height of Шаблон:Convert, sometimes a tree to Шаблон:Convert and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth brownish, grey, cream-coloured or green bark. The leaves on young plants and coppice regrowth are arranged in opposite pairs, lance-shaped, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide. The adult leaves are arranged alternately, lance-shaped or curved, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide on a petiole Шаблон:Convert long. They are the same colour on both surfaces. The flower buds are arranged in groups of three in leaf axils on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Convert long, the individual buds on a short pedicel or sessile. The mature buds are oblong to spindle-shaped, green to yellow, usually warty, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide with a conical to beaked operculum that is shorter and narrower than the flower cup. Flowering mainly occurs from March to May and the flowers are white. The fruit is a conical, cup-shaped or bell-shaped capsule Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus baeuerlenii was first formally described in 1890 by Ferdinand von Mueller who published the description in The Victorian Naturalist.[4][5]

The type specimen was sent to Mueller by William Baeuerlen, (previously known as Wilhelm Bäuerlen) who collected it on Sugarloaf Mountain (near Clyde Mountain) "near the sources of the Clyde River". Baeuerlen noted "I am always a bit shy about sending you Eucalyptus specimens, but I think that this present one will not waste your time unnecessarily." He also noted that the species is a small, "sparse shrub" Шаблон:Convert high at an altitude of about Шаблон:Convert, mallee like further down and "tree-like", up to Шаблон:Convert high at Шаблон:Convert.[6] The specific epithet (baeuerlenii) honours William Baeuerlen who collected for Mueller from 1883 until at least 1888.[7]

Distribution and habitat

Baeuerlen's gum grows in open forest in skeletal soil. It has a disjunct distribution, occurring in the Blue Mountains and on the Southern Tablelands including in the Budawang National Park, Deua National Park and Wadbilliga National Park.[2][3]
