Description

Eucalyptus fusiformis is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has thick, hard, greyish ironbark on the trunk and on branches more than about Шаблон:Cvt in diameter. Young plants and coppice regrowth have stems that are more or less square in cross-section and leaves that are petiolate, egg-shaped to broadly lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are lance-shaped to curved, the same dull green on both sides, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in groups of seven on the ends of branchlets on a compound peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to spindle-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum. Flowering occurs between May and August and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody hemispherical, conical, pear-shaped or oval capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves below rim level.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus fusiformis was first formally described in 1987 by Douglas Boland and David Kleinig in the journal Brunonia.[3] The specific epithet (fusiformis) is derived from Latin words alluding to the fusiform or spindle-shaped flower buds.[2]

Distribution and habitat

This ironbark grows in forest from about Kempsey in northern New South Wales to Mount Barney in southeastern Queensland.[2]
