description
Appearance and leaf
Eucalyptus fasciculosa grows as a tree . The bark is smooth on the entire tree, remains on the lower part of the trunk or on the entire trunk. It is gray, gray-brown or brown, has whitish spots and is fibrous and lumpy. There are oil glands both in the pith of the young twigs and in the bark.
In Eucalyptus fasciculosa there is heterophyllia . The leaves are always divided into a petiole and a leaf blade. On middle-aged specimens, the leaf blade is lanceolate to ovate, straight, with entire margins and dull gray-green. The leaf blades of the same color on the upper and lower sides on adult specimens are lanceolate, sickle-shaped, relatively thick and can taper or become blunt towards the base of the blade; their upper end can be pointed, blunt or rounded. The raised or barely visible lateral nerves go off the median nerve at an acute or obtuse angle. The cotyledons ( cotyledons ) are upside-kidney-shaped.
Inflorescence and flower
At the side or at the end of an inflorescence stem that is round in cross-section, there are approximately seven-flowered partial inflorescences in compound total inflorescences . The flower buds are egg, club or spindle-shaped and not floured or frosted blue-green. The sepals form a calyptra that falls off early. The smooth calyptra is conical, just as long as the smooth flower cup (hypanthium) and narrower than this. The flowers are white or creamy white.
fruit
The fruit is egg-shaped. The disc is indented, the fruit compartments are included.
Occurrence
The natural range of Eucalyptus fasciculosa is the southeast of South Australia , around Adelaide and south of it, as well as the extreme southwest of Victoria .
Taxonomy
The first description of Eucalyptus fasciculosa was made in 1855 by Ferdinand von Mueller , entitled Description of fifty new Australian plants, chiefly from the colony of Victoria in Transactions and Proceedings of the Victorian Institute for the Advancement of Science , Volume 1, page 34. The type material is labeled " on barrn ridges along St. Vincent's Gulf, on Gawler River, in the Mount Lofty Ranges and Bungle Ranges, and on Encounter Bay ". A synonym for Eucalyptus fasciculosa F. Muell. is Eucalyptus paniculata var. fasciculosa (F.Muell.) Benth.
