Description
Eucalyptus willisii is a tree or a mallee that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, fibrous bark on the trunk and larger branches. Young plants and coppice regrowth have slightly glossy, sessile, lance-shaped or curved leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide and arranged in opposite pairs. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, the same shade of dull to slightly glossy blue-green 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 eleven to twenty five on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to club-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and about Шаблон:Cvt wide with a hemispherical operculum. Flowering occurs from September to January and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody cup-shaped capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and wide on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with three or four valves near rim level. The seeds are smooth and glossy, brown to dark brown and pyramid-shaped but are distorted along one curved face.[2][3][4]
Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus willisii was first formally described in 1983 by Pauline Ladiges, Chris Humphries and Ian Brooker in the Australian Journal of Botany from specimens collected near Mount Oberon in Wilsons Promontory National Park in 1982.[5] The specific epithet (willisii) honours James Hamlyn Willis (1910 – 1995).[3][6]
Distribution
The shining peppermint is endemic to Victoria from Cranbourne to around Bairnsdale in the west, and south to Wilsons Promontory[1] where it is found growing in sandy areas or on granite hills in scrubland communities.[2]
