Eucalyptus fasciculosa, commonly known as pink gum, hill gum or scrub gum,[1][2] is a species of small tree that is endemic to southern Australia. It has mostly smooth, light grey to pinkish bark, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and conical to barrel-shaped fruit.
Description
Eucalyptus fasciculosa is a tree with a single stem, rarely a mallee, and typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and a width of Шаблон:Convert. It has smooth, off-white to slaty blue bark that is shed in flakes, sometimes with rough flaky bark near the base. Young plants and coppice regrowth have egg-shaped, petiolate leaves Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The adult leaves are arranged alternately, thick, the same glossy green to blue-green on both sides, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged on the ends of stems on a branching peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to diamond-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum. Flowering has been recorded in most months between March and December and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, conical to barrel-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves below rim level. The seeds are grey to red-brown , irregularly shaped and slightly flattened.[1][2][3][4][5]
Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus fasciculosa was first formally described in 1855 by Ferdinand von Mueller in the Transactions and Proceedings of the Victorian Institute for the Advancement of Science.[6][7] The specific epithet (fasciculosa) is derived from the Latin word fascis meaning "bundle", "packet" or "sheaf",[8] possibly referring to the flower bundles on the ends of the stems.[3]
Distribution and habitat
Pink gum grows in woodland or as an emergent low shrubland on soil of low fertility. It is mainly found in the south-east of South Australia, in the Mount Lofty Ranges, Barossa Valley and on Kangaroo Island. It also occurs in the far south west of Victoria.[5][1] The canopy is not dense and other plants are able to grow in the dappled shade provided by the tree. The species is very similar in appearance to Eucalyptus leucoxylon.[9]
Use in horticulture
This eucalypt has a moderate growth rate and is able to tolerate low rainfall, moderate wind, including second-line salt wind and light frost.[10] It is planted for as an ornamental tree in gardens, parks and as a street tree.[9]
