Mature buds are oval, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide. The operculum is conical or slightly beaked. Flowering occurs from May to September and the flowers are white.

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus annuliformis was first formally described in 1992 by Peter Grayling and Ian Brooker from a specimen collected near Dandaragan and the description was published in Nuytsia.[4][3] The specific epithet (annuliformis) is said to be derived from the Latin annulus meaning "ring" and formis meaning "shape", referring to the disc of the fruit.[1] In Latin, the word for "shape" is however forma[5] and -formis means "-formed".[6]

Distribution and habitat

Badgerabbie mallee is only known from Badgerabbie Hill near Dandaragan where it grows in woodland with a dense, low shrub layer.[1][3]

Conservation

Eucalyptus annuliformis is classified as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife,[2] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.[7]
