Eucalyptus exilipes, commonly known as the fine-leaved ironbark,[1] is a species of medium to tall tree and is endemic to Queensland. It has dark grey or black "ironbark", linear to narrow lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and cup-shaped to shortened spherical fruit. It is similar to E. crebra, differing only in the length of the pedicels.

Description

Eucalyptus exilipes is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, dark grey to black ironbark. Young plants and coppice regrowth have petiolate, dull greyish, linear leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are linear 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 on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to spindle-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum. Flowering occurs in July and August and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, cup-shaped to shortened spherical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and wide with the valves near rim level. This species is very similar to E. crebra, differing only slightly in the dimensions of the pedicels.[2]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus exilipes was first formally described in 1987 by Ian Brooker and Anthony Bean from a specimen they collected in the White Mountains in 1985. The description was published in the journal Brunonia.[3] The specific epithet (exilipes) is derived from Latin words exilis meaning "slender", "thin" or "small"[2][4][5]Шаблон:Rp[6]Шаблон:Rp and 'pes' meaning "stem",[4]Шаблон:Rp[5]Шаблон:Rp[6]Шаблон:Rp and refers to the slender pedicels of this species.[2]

Distributiont

The fine-leaved ironbark is only known from a few locations in north Queensland, including the White Mountains, Blackbraes National Park and north of Cooktown.[2]

Conservation status

Eucalyptus exilipes is classified as "least concern" under the Queensland Government Nature Conservation Act 1992.[1]
