Description

Eucalyptus jimberlanica is a mallet or a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Convert and does not form a lignotuber. It has smooth, glossy dark brown to copper-coloured bark on the trunk and branches. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, the same glossy green on both sides, narrow lance-shaped to lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide tapering to a petiole up to Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of seven on an thick, flattened, unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to more or less spherical, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a hemispherical operculum that is about the same length as the floral cup. The fruit is a more or less sessile, woody, conical to cup-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves below rim level.[2][3][4]

This eucalypt is one of nine species of gimlet in the genus Eucalyptus. It is regarded by some as a possible hybrid between E. terebra and E. ravida.[5]
