Description

Eucalyptus decipiens is a mallee or small tree that typically grows to Шаблон:Cvt high and Шаблон:Cvt wide and forms a lignotuber. It has varying amounts of rough, flaky, greyish brown ribbony bark and smooth grey to pinkish bark. Young plants and coppice regrowth have broadly elliptic to almost round, dull bluish green leaves Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, thick, dull, grey-green and lance-shaped with a hook-like tip. They are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a flattened petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in groups of between eleven and twenty one on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds sessile or on a pedicel up to Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to spindle-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical to beaked operculum. Flowering occurs between August and January and the flowers are creamy white. The fruit is a woody conical to flattened hemispherical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide.[1][3][4]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus decipiens was first formally described in 1837 by the botanist Stephan Endlicher from a specimen collected near King Georges Sound by Charles von Hügel. The description was published in the book Enumeratio plantarum quas in Novae Hollandiae ora austro-occidentali ad fluvium Cygnorum et in sinu Regis Georgii collegit Carolus Liber Baro de Hügel.[5][6] The specific epithet (decipiens) is derived from the Latin word decipio meaning "to beguile" or "to cheat"[7]Шаблон:Rp but the reason Endlicher gave this name is not clear, but may refer to its similarity to another species.[3]

Subspecies, including E. decipiens subsp. chalara Brooker & Hopper have been described but the names have not been accepted by the Australian Plant Census.[8]

Distribution and habitat

Redheart is found on sandplains, hills and along the edges of swamps in the Wheatbelt, South West and Great Southern regions of Western Australia growing in clay, loam or sandy soils over laterite.[4]
