Eucalyptus polita, also known as Parker Range mallet,[1]Шаблон:Rp is a species of mallet or small tree that is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It has smooth, greyish bark, narrow lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between seven and eleven, white flowers and cup-shaped fruit.
Description
Eucalyptus polita is a mallet or 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 long ribbons to reveal orange-coloured new bark. Young plants and coppice regrowth have dull green, lance-shaped leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are the same shade of glossy green on both sides, 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, nine or eleven on a flattened, unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds sessile or on pedicels up to Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to more or less cylindrical, Шаблон:Cvt long and about Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical, striated operculum. The flowers are white and the fruit is a woody, cup-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves near rim level.[2][3][4]
Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus polita was first formally described in 1993 by Ian Brooker and Stephen Hopper in the journal Nuytsia from material collected by Brooker on the Hyden - Norseman track in 1983.[3][5] The specific epithet (polita) is from the Latin politus meaning "polished", referring to the bark.[6]
Distribution and habitat
This mallet grows around salt lakes and on flat areas from Forrestania to near Marvel Loch in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie and Mallee biogeographic regions.[2][3][4]
Conservation status
This mallee eucalypt is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[4]
