105Eucalyptus decorticans
| Categories | Tree |
| Common Name(s) | Gum-Topped Ironbark |
| Family | Myrtaceae |
Description
"Tree to 40 m tall. Forming a lignotuber." (Euclid, 4th Ed.)
Notes
Within its range, Eucalyptus decorticans may be seen on rises of sandstone, sometimes lateritised. The upper smooth-barked branches, usually white, are noticeable. Care should be taken not to confuse this ironbark with E.melanoleuca and with E.fibrosa. Euclid 4th Ed. linked below will be helpful in this manner.
Historical Notes
Distribution
"Widespread in south-eastern Queensland, from west of the Drummond Range, east to Monto, south-east to Kingaroy and west of Millmerran with an outlier in the Callide range north of Biloela, always in sandstone hills; endemic." (Brooker, M.I.H., and Kleinig, D.A., 2004)
