Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus calcareana was first formally described in 1979 by Clifford Boomsma from specimens collected near Nundroo.[5][8] The specific epithet (calcareana) is derived from the Latin word calcareus meaning "of lime" or "limy"[9] referring to the soil type where this species grows.[3]
Distribution and habitat
Nundroo mallee is found along the south coast of the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia and the south coast of South Australia.[7] It is found from the east of Esperance to coastal areas of the western Eyre Peninsula.[7][10]
Use in horticulture
