description
Appearance and leaf
Eucalyptus salubris grows as a tree or in the form of the mallee - eucalyptus , this is a growth form that is more shrub -like than tree-shaped , there are usually several trunks that form a lignotuber , and it reaches heights of seldom 2 to, mostly 4 to 15, occasionally up to 24 meters. Individual trunks of trees and trunks of Mallee eucalyptus are often roughly grooved. The bark is smooth and copper-colored or red-brown all over the tree. There are oil glands in the marrow of the young branches, but not in the bark.
In Eucalyptus salubris there is heterophyllia . The leaves are always divided into a petiole and a leaf blade. On middle-aged specimens, the leaf blade is elliptical to ovate, straight, with entire margins and a dull gray-green. The leaf blades on adult specimens are evenly shiny green on the upper and lower sides, are narrow-lanceolate, relatively thin, straight, taper towards the base of the blades and have a pointed upper end. 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
On the side of an inflorescence stem with a width of up to 3 mm in cross section, narrowly flattened or angular inflorescences, there are approximately seven-flowered partial inflorescences in compound total inflorescences .
The flower buds are egg-shaped and not floured or frosted blue-green. The sepals form a calyptra that falls off early. The smooth calyptra is conical, three times as long as the smooth flower cup (hypanthium) and as wide as this. The flowers are creamy white or white. The flowering period in Western Australia extends from September to October or from December or January to March.
The fruit is hemispherical, the disc is raised and the fruit fans protrude.

Systematics
The first description of Eucalyptus salubris was carried out in 1876 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae , Volume 10 (83), p 54. The type material , the label " Inner Victoria Spring et Ularing; Young ”. A synonym for Eucalyptus salubris F.Muell. is Eucalyptus salubris F.Muell. var. salubris .
There are intergradations between Eucalyptus salubris and Eucalyptus ravida and natural hybrids of Eucalyptus salubris with Eucalyptus tortilis .
