Description

Eucalyptus jensenii is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has hard, rough, coarse black "ironbark" on the trunk and larger branches. Young plants and coppice regrowth have dull greyish green, egg-shaped to elliptic leaves Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are the same shade of dull green or greyish green on both sides, egg-shaped to lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged mostly on the ends of branchlets on a branching peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long. Each branch of the peduncle has seven buds, each bud on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are pear-shaped to oval, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum. Flowering occurs from January to May and the flowers are creamy white. The fruit is a woody, barrel-shaped to conical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and wide with the valves near rim level.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus jensenii was first formally described in 1922 by Joseph Maiden from a specimen collected near Wandi by Harald Ingemann Jensen and the description was published in Maiden's book A Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus. Wandi is an old gold-mining camp near Pine Creek in the Northern Territory.[4][5] The specific epithet honours the collector of the type specimen.[1]

Distribution and habitat

Wandi ironbark grows in open forest and woodland, usually on slopes and tablelands but sometimes on flats and near swamps. It occurs in the Kimberley region and Dampier Peninsula in Western Australia and in northern parts of the northern Territory, including on Groote Eylandt.[1][2]
