Description
Eucalyptus varia is a mallee that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt, forms a lignotuber and has smooth grey bark. Adult leaves are the same shade of dull bluish green on both sides, narrow 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 nine or eleven on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are an elongated spindle shape, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a horm-shaped operculum that is about three times as long as the floral cup. Flowering occurs from July to September or October and the flowers are yellow. The fruit is a woody, barrel-shaped to cylindrical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves at or below rim level.[1][2][3]
Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus varia was first formally described in 1991 by Ian Brooker and Stephen Hopper from specimens collected Шаблон:Cvt west of Esperance in 1989.[2][4] The specific epithet (varia) is from the Latin word "varia", meaning "varying", referring to the varying habit, bark, leaf width and habitat of this species.[2]
In the same journal, Brooker and Hopper described two subspecies and the names have been accepted by the Australian Plant Census:
- Eucalyptus varia subsp. salsuginosa Brooker & Hopper[5] has rough, fibrous bark near the base and occurs on seasonally wet flats north and north-east of Esperance;[1][6]
- Eucalyptus varia Brooker & Hopper subsp. varia[7] is smooth barked throughout and occurs on sandplains and laterite, north and north-west of Esperance and as far east as the Cape Arid National Park.[1][8]
Conservation status
This species of eucalypt and both subspecies are classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[3][6][8]
