Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus acroleuca was first formally described in 1994 by Lawrie Johnson and Ken Hill from a specimen collected near the New Laura Homestead.[4][2] The specific epithet (acroleuca) is derived from the Ancient Greek words acros meaning "highest" and leucos meaning "white", referring to the white bark on the higher branches of this species.[2][3]
Distribution and habitat
This tree often grows in pure stands in woodland in heavy soils that are flooded in the wet season, and often grows near permanent lagoons. It occurs in the Rinyirru National Park.[2]
Conservation
Eucalyptus acroleuca is classed as "least concern" under the Queensland Government Nature Conservation Act 1992.[5]
