Eucalyptus conglomerata, commonly known as the swamp stringybark,[1] is a species of straggly tree or mallee that is endemic to Queensland.

Description
Eucalyptus conglomerata is a straggly tree or a mallee, that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has greyish brown, fibrous stringybark over the trunk and most of the branches, sometimes smooth bark on the thinnest branches. Young plants and coppice regrowth have leaves that are glossy green on the upper surface, paler below, narrow elliptic to narrow lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide on a short petiole. Adult leaves are lance-shaped to elliptic, the same glossy green on both sides, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in groups of between eleven and fifteen or more on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual flowers sessile or on a pedicel up to Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature flower buds are oval to spindle-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and about Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum. Flowering occurs between April and August and the flowers are white. The fruit are woody truncated spherical or hemispherical capsules Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide and clustered together.[1][2][3][4]
Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus conglomerata was first formally described in 1929 by Joseph Maiden and William Blakely and the description was published in Maiden's book A Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus.[5][6] The specific epithet (conglomerata) is a Latin word meaning "roll together", "crowd", "concentrated",[7] referring to the clustered fruit of this species.[1]
Distribution and habitat
Swamp stringybark grows in damp, sandy soil, near creeks and swamps, often at the edges of heath. It occurs on the Sunshine Coast between Beerwah and Kin Kin.[1]
Conservation status
This eucalypt is classified as "endangered" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and under the Queensland Government Nature Conservation Act 1992. The main threats to the species are land clearing, drainage works, urban development and road construction.[3][4]
