Description

Eucalyptus corticosa is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, fibrous to flaky, brownish bark on the trunk and larger branches. Young plants and coppice regrowth have leaves arranged in opposite pairs, dull green and narrow oblong in shape. Adult leaves are the same dull green on both sides, lance-shaped to curved, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in groups of seven in leaf axils on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to spindle-shaped, green to yellow, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical to rounded operculum that is about as long and wide as the floral cup. Flowering has been recorded in June and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, hemispherical to bell-shaped or cup-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus corticosa was first formally described in 1962 by Lawrie Johnson who published the description in Contributions from the New South Wales Herbarium from a specimen he collected near Olinda in New South Wales.[3] The specific epithet (corticosa) is a Latin word meaning "abounding in bark".[4]

In 1988, George Chippendale included this species with Eucalyptus aromaphloia but it was resurrected by Ian Brooker and is accepted as a separate species by the Australian Plant Census.[5]

Distribution and habitat

Creswick apple-box grows in woodland in shallow soil over sandstone but is only known from the Rylstone area in New South Wales.
