Description

Eucalyptus imitans is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, stringy, greyish bark on the trunk and on branches thicker than Шаблон:Cvt. Young plants and coppice regrowth have egg-shaped to elliptical, glossy green leaves Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are lance-shaped, elliptic to egg-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 between nine and fifteen on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds sessile or on pedicels up to Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to diamond-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum. Flowering occurs from May to June or from October to November and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, hemispherical to shortened spherical capsule, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves near rim level or slightly protruding above it.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus imitans was first formally described in 1991 by Lawrie Johnson and Ken Hill from a plant found inland from Kangaroo Valley in 1989. The description was published in the journal Telopea.[3][4] The name imitans is a Latin word meaning "imitating", referring to the resemblance of this species to E. oblonga.[1]

Distribution and habitat

The Illawarra stringybark grows in woodland on sandstone on the plateau inland between Tallong and Nerriga.[3]
