Description

Eucalyptus tenella is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has thick, fibrous, furrowed, stringy bark usually coloured grey over reddish brown. Young plants and coppice regrowth have glossy green leaves that a paler on the lower surface, narrow lance-shaped to linear, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are narrow lance-shaped to linear or curved, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of seven to fifteen on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds sessile or on pedicels up to Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to spindle-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical to rounded operculum. Flowering occurs from September to March and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody spherical or hemispherical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves near rim level.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus tenella was first formally described in 1991 by Lawrie Johnson and Ken Hill in the journal Telopea from specimens Johnson collected near Capertee in 1968.[3][4] The specific epithet (tenella) is from the Latin tenellus meaning "somewhat delicate", referring to the small leaves.[3]

Distribution and habitat

Narrow-leaved stringybark grows in dry woodland in shallow soils between Rylstone and Nowra.[1][2]
