Description

Eucalyptus petraea is a mallee or small tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has thin, ribbony to flaky or fibrous bark on the lowest Шаблон:Cvt of the trunk, smooth greyish bark above. Young plants and coppice regrowth have lance-shaped leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are the same shade of glossy green on both sides, lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, tapering to a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged on the ends of branchlets in groups of seven on a branched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a blunt, conical operculum. Flowering occurs from January to February and from August to September and the flowers are creamy white. The fruit is a woody, conical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves below rim level.[1][2][3][4]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus petraea was first formally described in 1983 by Denis and Stella Carr in the journal Nuytsia from material they collected near Gnarlbine Rock in 1980.[4][5] The specific epithet (petraea) is from the Latin word petraueus meaning "growing among rocks".[6]

Distribution and habitat

Granite rock box grows in isolated locations near granite boulders between Coorow, Merredin and Karonie, east of Kalgoorlie.[1][3][4]
