Eucalyptus luehmanniana, commonly known as the yellow top mallee ash,[1] is a species of mallee that is endemic to a small area in New South Wales. It has smooth white bark, lance-shaped to curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between seven and eleven or more, white flowers and cup-shaped, urn-shaped or barrel-shaped fruit. It has a restricted distribution on poor, rocky soils near Sydney.
Description
Eucalyptus luehmanniana is a mallee that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth white to brown bark that is shed in long ribbons. Young plants and coppice regrowth have stems that are more or less square in cross-section and sessile, glossy green, elliptic to broadly lance-shaped leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are the same shade of glossy green on both sides, lance-shaped to curved, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of between seven and eleven or more on a flattened, unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are club-shaped to diamond shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum about the same size as the floral cup. Flowering occurs between June and December and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, cup-shaped, urn-shaped or barrel-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves close to rim level.[1][2][3]
This mallee has sometimes been confused with the tree species E. haemastoma and E. stricta.[4]
Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus luehmanniana was first formally described in 1878 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae. The type specimen was collected in sandy rocky ground by William Kirton, "eight miles north of Bulli at an elevation of 2000 feet".The specific epithet honours Johann George Luehmann, who was Mueller's assistant in the Melbourne Herbarium.[5][6][7]
Distribution and habitat
The yellow top mallee ash grows in mallee heath on shallow soils derived from sandstone on the coastal plateau in the Sydney region, between the Hawkesbury River and Bulli. Despite having a restricted distribution, it is locally abundant.[1]
Culture
The fruit of this eucalypt was depicted on the original five dollar note, beside a drawing of Joseph Banks.[4]
