Eucalyptus paliformis, commonly known as Wadbilliga ash,[1] is a species of small to medium-sized tree that is endemic to a small area in southern New South Wales. It has smooth bark, lance-shaped to curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and shortened spherical fruit.

Description

Eucalyptus paliformis is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt but does not form a lignotuber. It has smooth greyish bark that is shed in ribbons to reveal yellow new bark. Young plants have glossy, dark green leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are lance-shaped to curved, the same shade of glossy green on both sides, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide tapering to a petiole Шаблон:Cvt wide. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of seven on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval, about Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical to rounded operculum. Flowering occurs from May to July and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, shortened spherical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves below the level of the rim.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy

Eucalyptus paliformis was first formally described in 1973 by Lawrie Johnson and Donald Blaxell from material they collected near the upper Tuross River in Wadbilliga National Park in 1971. The description was published in Contributions from the New South Wales Herbarium.[4] The specific epithet (paliformis) is from Latin, meaning "stake-like", referring to the slim trunks of this eucalypt.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Wadbilliga ash is only known from a single, pure stand in the Wadbilliga area near Cooma, where it grows in forest and woodland on a broad, high ridge.[1][2][3]
