Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox
Eucalyptus dissimulata, commonly known as the red-capped mallee,[1] is a species of mallee that is endemic to Western Australia. It has smooth greyish bark that is shed in strips, glossy green, narrow elliptic to narrow lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between seven and eleven, creamy white flowers and short cylindrical to stubby barrel-shaped fruit.
Description
Eucalyptus dissimulata is a mallee that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth light grey to greenish brown bark that is shed in strips. Young plants and coppice regrowth have sessile leaves arranged in opposite pairs and Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are glossy green, arranged alternately, narrow elliptic to narrow lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of seven, nine or eleven, the groups on an unbranched 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 October and March and the flowers are creamy white. The fruit is a woody, shortly cylindrical or stubby barrel-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves enclosed below the rim. The seeds are brown-grey and a flattened oval shape.[1][2][3]
Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus dissimulata was first formally described by the botanist Ian Brooker in 1988 in the journal Nuytsia from a specimen he collected in 1984 about Шаблон:Cvt north of Needilup.[3][4] The specific epithet (dissimulata) is a Latin word meaning "pretending", referring to the superficial similarity of this species to E. albida.[3]
This species is part of the Eucalyptus subgenus Symphyomyrtus in the section Bisectae and the subsection Destitutae.
Distribution and habitat
Red-capped mallee is found on sand-plains and near creeks, along a narrow, near-coastal strip in the Wheatbelt and Goldfields-Esperance regions between Corrigin and Munglinup where it grows in sandy-loamy soils.[1][2]
Conservation status
Eucalyptus dissimulata is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[1]
