Eucalyptus subtilis, commonly known as narrow-leaved mallee,[1] is a species of mallee that is endemic to Western Australia. It has smooth bark, linear adult leaves, flower buds in groups of nine or eleven, cream-coloured flowers and usually cup-shaped fruit.
Description
Eucalyptus subtilis is a mallee that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth grey to light pale orange coloured bark. Young plants and coppice regrowth have dull green to bluish leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, held erect, dull to slightly glossy green, linear, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a pointed apex and the base tapering toward a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels up to Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are spindle-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum. Flowering occurs between February and June and the flowers are cream-coloured or white. The fruit is a woody cup-shaped to shortly barrel-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves near rim level.[1][2][3]
Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus subtilis was first formally described by the botanists Ian Brooker and Stephen Hopper in 1991 in the journal Nuytsia from specimens collected by Brooker south of Norseman in 1985.[3][4] The specific epithet is taken from the Latin word subtilis meaning "fine" or "delicate" in reference to the leaves of the species.[2]
Distribution and habitat
The narrow-leaved mallee is found on sandplains and rises in an area between Lake Grace and Norseman in the eastern Wheatbelt and western Goldfields region, where it grows in sandy-clay-loam soils.[1]
Conservation status
This eucalypt is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[1]
