description
Appearance and leaf
Angophora woodsiana grows as a tree that reaches heights of up to 20 meters. The bark remains on the entire tree, is gray or pale brown and has short fibers.
In angophora woodsiana is Heterophyllie ago. The simple leaves are always opposite to each other on the branches. The sitting leaves on young specimens have stiff, simple hair and bristly glandular hairs ( trichomes ). On medium-aged specimens, the leaves are straight, entire and dull green. The leaves on adult specimens are divided into petiole and leaf blade. Your petiole is 12 to 18 mm long. Their simple leaf blade is 8 to 14 cm long and 1.2 to 3.0 cm wide and lanceolate with a pointed base and a pointed upper end. The top and bottom of the leaves are colored differently. The lateral nerves are closely spaced at an obtuse angle to the median nerve. The cotyledons ( cotyledons ) are almost circular.
Inflorescence and flower
At the end of a 15 to 32 mm long, glabrous or stiffly haired inflorescence stem, there are several partial inflorescences in combined total inflorescences . The bare or stiffly hairy pedicel is 15 to 25 mm long. The flower buds are spherical with a length and a diameter of 6 to 10 mm each. The hermaphrodite flowers are creamy white. The four sepals are reduced to four calyx teeth on the ribbed flower cup (hypanthium). The four petals have a width and a length of 3 to 4 mm each.
Fruit and seeds
The stalked fruit is egg-shaped or cylindrical with a length and a diameter of 10 to 15 mm and mostly tapers towards the tip. The disc is flat and covered or even depressed by the edge of the flower cup. The fruit compartments are included. The kneecap-shaped seeds are regular and flattened, smooth and silk-matt red.
Occurrence
The range of Angophora woodsiana is on the Queensland coast, around Brisbane , and the New South Wales coast, north of Coffs Harbor . One finds angophora woodsiana but also on the Great Dividing Range to Toowoomba . Angophora woodsiana is widespread and locally common.
Angophora woodsiana thrives mainly on sandy soils over sandstone .
