Description

Eucalyptus costuligera is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and has persistent pale grey, fibrous or flaky "box"-type bark on the trunk and branches. The adult leaves are arranged alternately, the same grey-green or bluish colour on both sides, lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a channelled or flattened petiole up to Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in groups of up to seven on a branched or unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature flower buds are club-shaped, about Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with faint ribs along the sides. The operculum is hemispherical, about half as long as the floral cup. The flowers are a white-cream colour and the fruit is a woody cylindrical, cup-shaped or pear-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with fine ribs along the sides and the valves enclosed below the rim.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus costuligera was first formally described in 2000 by Lawrie Johnson and Ken Hill from a specimen collected Шаблон:Cvt from the Derby-Gibb River Road, on the road to Wyndham.[2][4] The specific epithet (costuligera) is derived from the Latin costula, meaning "a costule or rib" (strictly the midrib of a fern frond) and -ger meaning "-bearing", referring to the finely ribbed fruit.[2][5]

Distribution and habitat

This eucalypt has a limited range but is abundant in a small area in the central Kimberley region of Western Australia, growing in savannah woodland in sandy to loamy soils over laterite.[3][2]

Conservation status

This species is classified as is classified as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife[3] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.[6]
