Appearance and leaf

Eucalyptus largiflorens grows as a tree that can reach heights of up to 20 meters. The bark remains on the entire tree, is gray to gray-black and fibrous-scaly.

In Eucalyptus largiflorens , heterophyllia is present. The leaves on young specimens are linear and floured matt gray-green to blue-green. The same-colored, matt gray-green leaves on adult specimens are narrow-lanceolate to lanceolate with a length of 9 to 18 cm and a width of 0.8 to 1.8 cm.

Inflorescence and flower

On an inflorescence shaft, which is round in cross section and 3 to 11 mm long, there are approximately seven to eleven flowered partial inflorescences in a composite entire inflorescence . The pedicel-round flower stalk is 1 to 5 mm long. The flower bud is egg-shaped with a length of 4 to 5 mm and a diameter of 2 to 3 mm. The calyptra is hemispherical or conical, shorter and narrower than the flower cup (hypanthium). All stamens are fertile (fertile).

fruit

The fruit is 3 to 6 mm long and 3 to 5 mm in diameter hemispherical or ovoid-truncated. The disc is indented, the fruit compartments are enclosed or are at the level of the edge.

Occurrence

Eucalyptus largiflorens is a dominant species in some areas and grows in grassy, sparse forests on heavy, black clay soils in seasonally flooded locations. In New South Wales it occurs in the central and western parts of the country, west of a line from Mungindi to Condobolin. In addition, Eucalyptus largiflorens is found in adjacent, southern Queensland , in southeastern South Australia and in northwestern Victoria . With the exception of the area around Adelaide , the locations are inland.

Taxonomy

The first description of eucalyptus largiflorens 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 2, page 34. It describes the occurrence " in bushy, barren localities on the Murray, Avoca, Wimmera and on St. Vincent's Gulf ". The specific epithet largiflorens is composed of the Latin words largus for broad and florens for blooming.

Synonyms for Eucalyptus largiflorens F.Muell. are: Eucalyptus largiflorens F.Muell. var. largiflorens , Eucalyptus parviflora F. Muell. nom. inval. Per. syn., Eucalyptus aff. largiflorens ; all other synonyms are considered doubtful.
