Eucalyptus exserta, commonly known as Queensland peppermint,[1] peppermint, bendo,[2] yellow messmate or messmate, is a species of tree or a mallee and is endemic to eastern Australia. It has hard, fibrous bark, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and hemispherical or cup-shaped fruit.
Description
Eucalyptus exserta can grow as a mallee to a height of Шаблон:Convert or as a tree to Шаблон:Convert and forms a lignotuber. It has hard, rough, fissured, fibrous grey bark, usually from the base to the small branches. The slightly glossy to dull usually green adult leaves are arranged alternately, narrow lance-shaped to 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 pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum. Flowering has been recorded in January, May and December and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, hemispherical or cup-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a raised disc and exserted valves.[3][4]
Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus exserta was first formally described in 1859 by the Victorian state botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in the Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society, Botany.[5][6] The species name is from the Latin word exsertus meaning exserted, referring to the valves of the fruit.[4]
Distribution and habitat
The species is found on stony rises and hills throughout much of central, southern and eastern[2] Queensland,[1] from around Charleville area east to the coast and then extending north to Mareeba. It is also found in a small area of northern New South Wales in the Bebo State Forest.[4] E. exserta grows in infertile sandy soils as part of dry sclerophyll woodland communities.[3]
Ecology
It is a host tree for the mistletoe species Amyema miquelii,[7]Шаблон:Rp Dendrophthoe glabrescens[7]Шаблон:Rp and Dendrophthoe homoplastica.[7]Шаблон:Rp
The leaves of the tree are a food source for koalas.[2]
Cultivation and uses
E. exserta is a profuse flowerer and is of some importance as food for honeybees. It can be grown as a shade or windbreak tree on farms in areas where it is native, growing best on soils with good drainage.[8] E. exserta plantations were established in Guangdong Province in China to halt soil erosion in the early 1960s.[9][10]
