Eucalyptus hypolaena is a species of tree or mallee that is endemic to Western Australia. It has hard, dark grey bark near the base of the trunk, smooth bark above, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds arranged in groups of seven, pale yellow flowers and shortened spherical to barrel-shaped fruit.

Description

Eucalyptus hypolaena is a tree or mallee that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, dark grey, fibrous, scaly and flaky bark on the lowest Шаблон:Cvt of the trunk, smooth white to grey or pale pink bark above. Young plants and coppice regrowth have stems that are more or less square in cross-section and leaves that are lance-shaped to egg-shaped, dull, glaucous, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, lance-shaped, the same shade of dull 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 seven on a 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 beaked to horn-shaped operculum Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs between May and September and the flowers are pale yellow. The fruit is a woody, shortened spherical to barrel-shaped capsule, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves protruding well beyond the rim.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus hypolaena was first formally described in 1999 by Lawrie Johnson and Ken Hill in the journal Telopea. The type specimen was collected in 1983 near the Transcontinental Railway, about Шаблон:Cvt east of Karonie.[2][4] The specific epithet is from the ancient Greek hypo meaning "under" and (ch)laina meaning " a cloak", referring to the hard bark at the base of the trunk.[3][5]

Distribution and habitat

This mallee grows in mallee woodland in red, sandy loam with other eucalypts, including E. yilgarnensis and E. celastroides. It is found to the east and north of Kalgoorlie and into the Great Victoria Desert in the Coolgardie, Great Victoria Desert and Murchison biogeographical regions.[1][3]

Conservation status

Eucalyptus hypolaena is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife,[1]
