Eucalyptus synandra, commonly known as Jingymia mallee, is a mallee that is native to Western Australia.[1]
The mallee typically grows to a height of 3.5 to 10 metres (11 to 33 ft) with a width of 3 to 7 metres (10 to 23 ft) and has smooth, shedding bark and an erect to weeping habit. Usually the tree will form multiple stems from a lignotuber at the base of the trunks it also has a light open canopy that allows some light through.[2] It blooms between August and March producing inflorescences with pink-cream flowers[1] and a distinctive red capsule. The tree has dull green linear leaves that are about 200 millimetres (8 in) in length.[3]
It is found as several small populations[4] on sandplains and rises in an area between Geraldton and Mount Marshall in the Mid West, Wheatbelt regions where it grows in sandy and gravelly lateritic soils.[1]
The species name synandra is latin in origin meaning with fused male parts[5] which refers to the plants flowers where the stamens are joined for a portion of their length.[4]
Although the tree is not commonly cultivated,[4] it is commercially available in seed form or as seedlings. The drought tolerant plant[3] grows in full sun and attracts bids such as honeyeaters to the garden.[6]
