Description

Eucalyptus scopulorum is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has soft, corky, pale grey bark on the trunk and branches. Young plants and coppice regrowth have stems that are more or less square in cross-section and dull greyish green leaves that are egg-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are the same shade of dull green on both sides, lance-shaped to broadly 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 to diamond-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and about Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum. Flowering has been recorded in October and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody barrel-shaped or conical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves below rim level.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus scopulorum was first formally described in 1997 by Ken Hill in the journal Telopea from specimens he collected in the Gibraltar Range State Forest in 1996.[3][4] The specific epithet (scopulorum) is from the Latin word scopulus meaning "a cliff", referring to the usual habitat of this species.[3]

Distribution and habitat

This eucalypt grows in rocky crevices on steep cliffs and is only known in a few places on the Gibraltar Range.[3]
