Description

Eucalyptus terrica is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has thin, rough, fibrous bark on the trunk, sometimes also on the larger branches, smooth grey to brown bark above. Young plants and coppice regrowth have dull greyish, narrow lance-shaped leaves that are arranged alternately, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are the same shade of dull green to greyish on both sides, narrow lance-shaped to 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 seven on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval, creamy yellow, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical to horn-shaped operculum that is longer than the floral cup. Flowering occurs from September to October and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, hemispherical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves prominently protruding.[1][2]
