Description

Eucalyptus valens is a mallet that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt but does not form a lignotuber. It has smooth white, pale grey or cream-coloured bark. Young plants have stems that are square in cross-section and leaves that are dull bluish green, egg-shaped to lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. Adult leaves are glossy green, 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 a thick, unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds sessile or on pedicels up to Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a ribbed, conical or beaked operculum about equal in length to the operculum. The fruit is a sessile, cup-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves at rim level.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus valens was first formally described in 2001 by Lawrie Johnson and Ken Hill in the journal Telopea from specimens collected by Ian Brooker near Lake King in 1977.[2][4] The specific epithet (valens) is from a Latin word meaning to be vigorous or strong, referring to the habit of this species.[2]

Distribution and habitat

This mallet grows in woodland on the subcoastal plain from near Mount Ragged in the Cape Arid National Park to Scaddan and Salmon Gums.[1][2]

Conservation status

This eucalypt is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[3]
