105Eucalyptus pilligaensis
| Categories | Tree |
| Common Name(s) | Narrow-Leaved Grey Box |
| Family | Myrtaceae |
Description
"Tree to 25 m tall. Forming a lignotuber." (Euclid, 4th Ed.)
Notes
Eucalyptus pilligaensis is a grey box closely related to E.microcarpa, E.moluccana and E.albens but having the narowest leaves and fruit in this group of taxa. The adult leaves are green. As could be expected, the seed and chaff volumes are relatively very low.
Historical Notes
Distribution
"Small to medium sized tree of the northern part of the western slopes and plains of New South Wales extending into Queensland from Texas and Goondiwindi north to Warrego Highway east and west of Miles;" (Brooker, M.I.H., and Kleinig, D.A., 2004)
