Description

Eucalyptus hallii is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth white and grey bark that is shed to reveal pale orange to pale pink. Young plants and coppice regrowth have egg-shaped to broadly lance-shaped leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are lance-shaped or curved, 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 sessile or on very short pedicels. Mature buds are oval, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a rounded to conical operculum. The flowers are white and the fruit is a woody, conical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves protruding above the rim.

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus hallii was first formally described in 1975 by Ian Brooker from a specimen he collected near Goodwood railway station. The description was published in the journal Australian Forest Research. The specific epithet honours Norman Hall, who collaborated with Brooker and initiated the first edition of the book, Forest Trees of Australia.

Distribution and habitat

Goodwood gum grow in woodland and open forest, usually in flat areas, between Bundaberg and Maryborough in Queensland.

Conservation status

This eucalypt is listed as "vulnerable" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and the Queensland Government Nature Conservation Act 1992. The main threat to the species is habitat loss due to agricultural activities.
