Description

Eucalyptus suffulgens is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has dark grey to black ironbark on the trunk and larger branches, the thinner branches often with smooth bark. Young plants and coppice regrowth have glossy 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, 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 pear-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum that is shorter and narrower than the floral cup. Flowering occurs from April to September and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, barrel-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves below rim level.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus suffulgens was first formally described in 1991 by Ken Hill and Lawrie Johnson in the journal Telopea from specimens collected by Johnson near Biloela in 1971.[2][3] The specific epithet (suffulgens) is from the Latin sub- meaning "somewhat" and fulgens meaning "shining", referring to the leaves of the species.[2]

Distribution and habitat

This ironbark is locally abundant on shallow soil over sandstone on ranges and escarpments in the central ranges of Queensland, including the Blackdown Tableland.[1][2]

Conservation stutus

This eucalypt is classified as "least concern" under the Queensland Government Nature Conservation Act 1992.[4]
