Description

Eucalyptus chloroclada is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, finely fibrous to flaky bark on the trunk and smooth white to cream-coloured bark above. Some specimens in Queensland lack rough bark. Young plants and coppice regrowth have greyish green to glaucous, mostly egg-shaped leaves Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are the same glossy green to greyish green on both sides, lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are usually arranged in groups of seven on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to diamond-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs between August and December and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, hemispherical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves protruding above the rim.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Baradine gum was first formally described in 1934 by William Blakely who gave it the name Eucalyptus dealbata var. chloroclada and published the description in his book " A Key to the Eucalypts.[4] In 1988 Lawrie Johnson and Ken Hill changed the name to E. chloroclada and the updated name was published in Volume 19 of Flora of Australia.[5][6] The specific epithet (chloroclada) is derived from the Ancient Greek words chloros meaning "green"[7]Шаблон:Rp and klados meaning "branch", "twig" or "stem".[7]Шаблон:Rp

Distribution and habitat

Eucalyptus chloroclada mainly grows on sandy plains and on hills in woodland, usually with Callitris species. It occurs on the western slopes and plains of New South Wales mainly from the Pilliga forest and Gilgandra, north to Dirranbandi in south-east Queensland.[1][3]
