Eucalyptus arborella, commonly known as Twertup mallet, is a tree that is native to Western Australia.[1]
The small tree typically grows to a height of 5 metres (16 ft) and does not form a lignotuber. The bark is a white-grey colour, sometimes becoming a coppery-pink and smooth over the length of the tree.[2]
The adult leaves have a concolorous, green, and glossy appearance. the leaves are alternate on petioles that are 0.5 to 1 centimetre (0.20 to 0.39 in) in length. The blade has a narrowly elliptical to narrowly oblanceolate shape with a length of 4 to 7 cm (1.6 to 2.8 in) and a width of 0.7 to 1.5 cm (0.28 to 0.59 in) with the base tapering to the petiole and a pointed apex. The inflorescences are unbranched and axillary forming 11 to 15 or more buds that form a tight cluster.[2]
It produces yellow-green flowers between March and May. It is found on breakaways, creeklines and slopes in a small area along the south coast in the Great Southern and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia between Ravensthorpe, Jerramungup and Gnowangerup where it grows in stony soils.[1] The bulk of the population is confined to the Fitzgerald River National Park.[2]
