Description
Eucalyptus praetermissa is a mallet that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt but does not form a lignotuber. Young plants have egg-shaped leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide and petiolate. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, the same shade of dull 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 in leaf axils in groups of up to fifteen on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are spindle-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with an elongated, conical operculum about twice as long as the floral cup. Flowering occurs from November to January and the flowers are creamy white to pale yellow. The fruit is a woody, cylindrical to barrel-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves near rim level.[1][2][3]
Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus praetermissa was first formally described in 1991 by Ian Brooker and Stephen Hopper from a specimen collected by Brooker on the north side of Beaufort Inlet in 1984.[3][4] The specific epithet (praetermissa) is a Latin word meaning "overlooked", "omitted" or "neglected", referring to the fact that this species was known but ignored.[5]
Distribution and habitat
This eucalypt is only known from the type location where it grows in low woodland on sand over laterite.[1][3]
Conservation status
This mallet is classified as "Priority Four" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife,[2] meaning that is rare or near threatened.[6]
