Description

Eucalyptus johnstonii is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth yellow to brownish or greenish bark, sometimes with persistent fibrous bark near the base. Young plants and coppice regrowth have stems that are more or less square in cross-section with a broad wing on each corner and sessile. The juvenile leaves are egg-shaped to almost round, Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide and arranged in opposite pairs. Adult leaves are lance-shaped or curved, more or less the same glossy 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 on a thick, unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds sessile. Mature buds are oblong to diamond-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a rounded operculum with a central knob. Flowering mainly occurs from February to April and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody hemispherical or bell-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves protruding above the rim of the fruit.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus johnstonii was first formally described in 1922 by Joseph Maiden and the description was published in Volume 6 of his book, A Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus. The specific epithet honours Robert Mackenzie Johnston.[3][4]

Maiden noted that the species had already been described in 1886 by Thomas Bather Moore. Moore gave it the name Eucalyptus muelleri, a name that was already used for a different species, making it an illegitimate name. Maiden gave a further description and a diagram of the same species in Volume 3 of his book.[5][6][7]

Distribution and habitat

Tasmanian yellow gum grows in tall forest on mountains and plateaus in south-eastern Tasmania including on Mount Wellington, Bruny Island and the Tasman Peninsula.[1][2]
