Description

Eucalyptus vittata is a mallet that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt but does not form a lignotuber. It has smooth grey and creamy white bark that is shed in long ribbons. The adult leaves are lance-shaped, the same shade of dull green to bluish on both sides, 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 or nine on an unbranched 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 often faintly ribbed. The flowers are creamy white and the fruit is a woody, glaucous, hemispherical to cylindrical or cup-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves near rim level.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus vittata was first formally described in 2009 by Dean Nicolle from a specimen he collected with Malcolm French on the road between Hyden and Norseman in 2001, and the description was published in the journal Nuytsia.[1][3] The specific epithet (vittata) is from the Latin vittatus meaning "bound with a ribbon", referring to the long ribbons of bark hanging in the crown.[1]

Distribution and habitat

This mallet grows on flats around dry salt lakes and clay pans or below breakaways, sometimes in pure stands near the north-eastern margin of the wheatbelt in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Mallee and Yalgoo biogeographic regions.[4]

Conservation status

Eucalyptus vittata is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.[4]
