Description

Corymbia hamersleyana is a tree, sometimes a mallee, that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has thin, rough, flaky or tessellated bark that is shed in small polygonal flakes, on part or all of the trunk, smooth cream-coloured bark above. Young plants and coppice regrowth have stiff, elliptical to egg-shaped or lance-shaped leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide arranged in opposite pairs. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, the same shade of green on both sides, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, tapering to a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged on the ends of branchlets on a branched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, each branch of the peduncle with seven or nine buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to pear-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a rounded operculum that often has a small point in the centre. Flowering occurs between April and September and the flowers are creamy white. The fruit is a woody urn-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves enclosed in the fruit.[1][2][3][4]

Taxonomy and naming

This eucalypt was first formally described in 1987 by Denis Carr and Stella Carr and was given the name Eucalyptus hamersleyana.[5] In 1995 Ken Hill and Lawrie Johnson changed the name to Corymbia hamersleyana.[4][6] The specific epithet (hamersleyana) honours the pioneering Hamersley family, including Edward Hamersley, in whose honour Francis Thomas Gregory named the Hamersley Range.[5]

Distribution and habitat

Corymbia hamersleyana grows in shallow and skeletal soils on rocky slopes and hillsides throughout the Pilbara and North West Cape regions of Western Australia.[1][3]
