Description
Eucalyptus olivina is a mallee or a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth greyish bark that is shed in short strips. Young plants and coppice regrowth have dull green, linear leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Mature adult leaves are the same shade of glossy green on both sides, linear to narrow lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, tapering to a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of seven or nine on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to spindle-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and about Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical to slightly beaked operculum. Flowering has been recorded in March and the flowers are creamy white. The fruit is a woody, short barrel-shaped to cup-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves near rim level.[1][2][3]
Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus olivina was first formally described in 1993 by Ian Brooker and Stephen Hopper in the journal Nuytsia.[1][4] The specific epithet (olivina) is said to be derived from olivinus, meaning "olive-coloured" referring to the leaves,[1] but according to F. A. Sharr olivinus is a non-word, "presumably derived from olivaceus meaning "olive-coloured".[5]
Distribution and habitat
This eucalypt mostly grows in deep red sand and is common and widespread in the south-eastern wheatbelt extending to east of Hyden in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains and Mallee biogeographic regions.[1][3]
Conservation status
This eucalypt is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[3]
