Eucalyptus angularis also known as the Lesueur Phantom mallee is a small tree that is native to Western Australia.[1]
Eucalyptus angularis is a mallee that grows to a height of approximately 3 metres (10 ft)[1] and forms a lignotuber.[2] It has grey rough to flaky bark lower on the stem and smooth above and angular branchlets. The leaves are glossy green with a blade that is lanceolate to falcate and are 5 to 10 centimetres (2 to 4 in) long and approximately 1.6 centimetres (1 in) wide.[2]
It is found on lateritic breakaways in a small area along the west coast in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia around Dandaragan.[1] Only two small stands of the mallee are known, one is near Mount Lesueur and another one on Mount Benia.[2]
