Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

Eucalyptus haemastoma, commonly known as scribbly gum,[1] is a species of tree that is endemic to the Sydney region. It has white or silvery grey bark, lance-shaped or curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between nine and fifteen, white flowers and conical or hemispherical fruit. It is one of several eucalypts with prominent and differing insect scribbles in the bark, caused by the larvae of Ogmograptis, (and in the case of E. haemostoma - probably O. racemosa).[2]

Description

Eucalyptus haemastoma is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth white, silvery grey or yellow bark with insect scribbles. Young plants and coppice regrowth have elliptical to oblong or egg-shaped leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are lance-shaped or curved, the same shade of green on both sides, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of between nine and fifteen 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 to rounded operculum. Flowering occurs between July and November and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, conical or hemispherical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves near rim level.[1][3][4][5]

This species intergrades with E. racemosa, also a scribbly gum, mainly in the south of the Sydney area.[4] A third scribbly gum, E. rossii is found further inland, on the slopes and tablelands between Tenterfield and Bombala.[6]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus haemastoma was first formally described in 1797 by James Edward Smith in Transactions of the Linnean Society of London.[7][8] Smith noted "[f]ruit globose, cut off at the summit, its orifice surrounded by a broad deep-red border". The specific epithet is derived from the Greek haima, 'blood' and stoma, 'mouth', referring to the reddish disc of the fruit.[1]

Distribution and habitat

This scribbly gum grows in woodland on shallow sandy soil derived from sandstone. It occurs in the Sydney region between Lake Macquarie and the Royal National Park.
