Allocasuarina inophloia, commonly known as stringybark she-oak,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Casuarinaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a small dioecious tree that has finely fibrous, ribbony bark, its leaves reduced to scales in whorls of seven to nine, the mature fruiting cones Шаблон:Cvt long containing winged seeds (samaras) Шаблон:Cvt long.
Description
Allocasuarina inophloia is a dioecious tree with distinctive, finely fibrous, ribbony bark which typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt. Its branchlets are up to Шаблон:Cvt long, the leaves reduced to scale-like teeth Шаблон:Cvt long, arranged in whorls of seven to nine around the branchlets. The sections of branchlet between the leaf whorls (the "articles") are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Male flowers are arranged in spikes Шаблон:Cvt long, in whorls of 7 to 14 per centimetre (per 0.39 in.), the anthers Шаблон:Cvt long. The mature cones are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt in diameter containing dark brown samaras Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2][3][4]
Taxonomy
This she-oak was first formally described in 1882 by Ferdinand von Mueller and Frederick Manson Bailey who gave it the name Casuarina inophloia in The Chemist and Druggist with Australasian Supplement.[5][6] In 1982, Lawrie Johnson transferred it to the new genus Allocasuarina as A. inophloia in the Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.[7] The specific epithet (inophloia) means "sinew-bark".[8]
Distribution and habitat
Allocasuarina inophloia grows in woodland on sandstone, ironstone or laterite ridges. It is found from near Herberton in Queensland to Torrington and Emmaville in New South Wales with a disjunct population in the Clarence River valley. In the Torrington area, it sometimes occurs in tall shrubland associated with species such as Allocasuarina brachystachya, Acacia williamsiana, Micromyrtus grandis and understorey shrubs such as Leucopogon neoanglicus and Calytrix tetragona.[1][2][9]
Ecology
Stringybark she-oak has been recorded as a host plant for the orange mistletoe (Dendrophthoe glabrescens).[10]
Use in horticulture
The shaggy bark of this species gives it horticultural potential. It is frost hardy and able to tolerate poor soils.[4]
