Description

Eucalyptus camfieldii is a usually a mallee that grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt but sometimes a straggly tree to Шаблон:Convert. It forms a lignotuber up to Шаблон:Cvt across with a number of stems. It has persistent, grey or brownish, stringy and fibrous bark. Young plants and coppice regrowth have heart-shaped to almost round leaves Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide. Adult leaves are broadly lance-shaped, the same glossy green on both sides, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide on a petiole Шаблон:Convert long. The flowers are borne in groups of between nine and fifteen in leaf axils on a flattened peduncle Шаблон:Convert long but the individual buds are sessile. Mature buds are oval to oblong, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide with a conical operculum. Flowering mainly occurs from August to November and the flowers are white. The fruit are woody flattened hemispherical capsules crowded together, Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide with the valves roughly level with the rim.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus camfieldii was first formally described in 1920 by Joseph Maiden and the description was published in Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales from a specimen collected near Middle Harbour.[4][5] The specific epithet ( camfieldii) honours Julius Henry Camfield (1852–1916), who worked in the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney from 1882 until 1916.[2][5][6]

Distribution and habitat

Camfield's stringybark is restricted to poor, shallow sandy soil on ridges and some headlands between the Norah Head and Waterfall in New South Wales.[2][7][8]

Conservation status

This eucalypt is classified as "vulnerable" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and the New South Wales Government Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. The main threats to the species are loss of habitat due to land clearing, inappropriate fire regimes and weed invasion.[7][8]
