Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus aspratilis was first formally described in 1993 by Lawrie Johnston and Ken Hill.[5] The specific epithet (aspratilis) is a Latin word meaning "rough" or "scaly",[6] referring to the bark on the lower part of the trunk of this mallee.[1]

Distribution

Soak yate is found amongst granite outcrops in the Great Southern and southern Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia where it grows in sandy soils.[3] It is most commonly found in an area between Coolgardie, south to Norseman and west to Southern Cross.[1]

This eucalypt is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[3]
