description

Appearance and leaf

Eucalyptus salmonophloia as a tree that reaches heights of 4 to 30 meters. The branches strive upwards and outwards and thus form an umbrella-like crown. The bark is smooth and gray, gray-brown, brown, salmon-colored or orange all over the tree. There are no oil glands in the marrow of the young branches or in the bark.

In Eucalyptus salmonophloia there is heterophylly . The leaves are always divided into a petiole and a leaf blade. On middle-aged specimens, the leaf blade is broadly lanceolate to ovate, straight, with entire margins and a dull gray-green. The petiole on adult specimens is square. The leaf blade on adult specimens is glossy green on the top and bottom, lanceolate or narrow-lanceolate, relatively thin, sickle-shaped, tapers towards the base of the blade and its upper end can be pointed or pointed. The side nerves, which are barely visible, extend from the median nerve at an acute angle. The cotyledons ( cotyledons ) are in two parts.

Inflorescence, flower and fruit

Lateral on a pedicel-round, narrowly flattened or angular inflorescence stem with a diameter of up to 3 mm in cross section, there are about seven, eleven or more flowers together in a simple inflorescence . The flower bud is egg-shaped or spherical and not floured or frosted blue-green. The sepals form a calyptra that falls off early. The smooth calyptra is hemispherical or conical, two to three times as long as the smooth flower cup (hypanthium) and just as wide as this. The flowers are white or creamy white. The flowering period in Western Australia extends from August to December.

The fruit is hemispherical, the disc is pressed in and the fruit fans stick out.

Taxonomy

The first description of eucalyptus salmonophloia was made in 1878 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae , Volume 11 (88), page 11. The type material , the "Caption In silvis ad flumen cygnorum ejus ostium versus, FM; abhinc usque in viciniam oasis Victoria-Spring passim occurens; E. Giles ”.

use

Eucalyptus salononphloia thrives in USDA climate zone 9. This fast-growing species tolerates drought and light frost and thrives in soils that are poor in nutrients, even in slightly saline locations. Therefore Eucalyptus salmonophloia is suitable for reforestation and for areas where the soil needs to be stabilized.

The wood of Eucalyptus salmonophloia is particularly resistant and is used as a railroad tie , pit wood or good firewood.
