Description

Eucalyptus persistens is a species of tree, rarely a mallee, that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, dark grey bark on the trunk and branches. Young plants and coppice regrowth have dull, bluish, linear to narrow lance-shaped leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are lance-shaped, the same shade of green on both sides, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, tapering to a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are mostly arranged on the ends of branchlets on a branched peduncle in groups of seven. The peduncles are Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to pear-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical, rounded or beaked operculum. Flowering occurs between April and October and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, cup-shaped or barrel-shaped capsule, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves near rim level.[1][2]

Taxonomy

This tree occurs in north-eastern Queensland between Laura, Mareeba, Hughenden, Forsayth and Marlborough.[2]
