Eucalyptus recurva (also called Mongarlowe mallee) is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae. It was first discovered in 1985, and is endemic to New South Wales.[1] As of 2011, there were only five individual plants known to exist across four sites in Mongarlowe district.[1]
Habitat
Eucalyptus recurva is found in low heathland and in some cases, at the margins of the heathland and adjacent low woodland. All sites found are sloped slightly. Plants at the Mongarlowe sites occur from mid to upper slope, while the Windellama plants are on the lower part of the slope. At all sites, the soil is a shallow, pale-grey sandy loam overlying white or grey clay.[2]
