Description

Eucalyptus armillata is a mallee that grows to a height of about Шаблон:Convert and forms a lignotuber. The bark is pale grey to white turning pink to reddish purple and smooth over the length of the tree. The leaves on young plants and on coppice regrowth are dull green and narrow lance-shaped. The adult leaves are narrow lance-shaped, glossy, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide. The flower buds droop downwards, mostly in groups of three on a thickened peduncle Шаблон:Convert long, the individual flowers on a pedicel up to Шаблон:Convert long. The mature buds are shaped like two cones joined at the base, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide with a prominent flange below the operculum. The flowers are usually red, occasionally pale creamy yellow, and the fruit are shaped like the flower buds, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide with ribs on the side and a double flange around the rim.[1][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus armillata was first formally described in 2012 by Dean Nicolle and Malcolm E. French from a specimen collected south of Wongan Hills. The description was published in the journal Nuytsia.[3][4] The specific epithet (armillata) is a Latin word meaning "ornamented with a bracelet", referring to the prominent flange at the top of the floral cup and around the rim of the fruit.[3]

Distribution and habitat

The red-flowered mallee grows in mallee vegetation, usually on level ground from near Corrow and Calingiri to near Beacon and Wubin in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographic regions.[1][3]

Conservation

Eucalyptus armillata is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[1]
