description
Appearance and leaf
Eucalyptus thozetiana grows as a tree . The bark is smooth and white, gray or pink all over the tree. There are oil glands in both the bark and the marrow.
In Eucalyptus thozetiana 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 green or gray-green leaf blades of the same color on the top and bottom of adult specimens are linear, narrow-lanceolate or lanceolate, straight, relatively thin, taper towards the base of the blade and have a pointed upper end. The side nerves, which are barely visible, extend from the median nerve at an acute or very acute angle. The cotyledons ( cotyledons ) are upside-kidney-shaped.
Inflorescence, flower and fruit
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 cylindrical, pear-shaped or conical and not floured or frosted blue-green. The sepals form a calyptra that remains in place until flowering ( anthesis ). The smooth calyptra is hemispherical or conical, as long as the smooth or square flower cup (hypanthium) and wider than this. The flowers are white.
The fruit is cylindrical or (truncated) ovoid. The disc is indented, the fruit compartments are included.
Occurrence
The natural range of Eucalyptus thozetiana is in the interior of Queensland . They are found in the center, south, and east of the state, but not in the south-east. There are also locations in the southeast of the Northern Territory , in the MacDonnell Ranges east of Alice Springs .
Taxonomy
It was first described in 1903 by Joseph Maiden as a subspecies ( Basionym ) Eucalyptus calycogona subsp. thozetiana Maiden by Eucalyptus calycogona in A Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus , Volume 1 (3), p. 87. The type material is labeled “Expedition Range (Southeast of Emerald), Queensland. A. Thozet ” . Richard Thomas Baker gave her the rank of Eucalyptus thozetiana (F. Muell. Ex Maiden) in 1906 RTBaker in Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales , Volume 31, p. 305, Plate XXIV. The type material is labeled “ Queensland, Tandawarra (CW Chapman), Newinga, Goondiwindi (CW Chapman), Cometville and Emerald (rare: PA O'Shanesy, in Herb. Melb.); Expedition Range (Thozet, in Herb. Melb.) ”. Other synonyms for Eucalyptus thozetiana (F.Muell. Ex Maiden) RTBaker are: Eucalyptus gracilis var. Thozetii F.M.Bailey nom. inval., Eucalyptus gracilis var. thozetii F.M.Bailey nom. inval. The specific epithet thozetiana honors the collector of the original type material, Anthelme Thozet (1826–1878).
