Eucalyptus aridimontana
species of plant
Eucalyptus aridimontana is a mallee that is endemic to a small area in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. It has smooth bark, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven or nine, white flowers and barrel-shaped fruit.
Description
Eucalyptus aridimontana is a mallee that grows to a height of 4–6 metres (13–20 ft) and forms a lignotuber. The bark is grey and cream-coloured and smooth over the length of the tree. The leaves on young plants and on coppice regrowth are dull green to bluish, lance-shaped and up to 55 mm (2 in) long and 22 mm (0.9 in) wide. The adult leaves are lance-shaped, mostly 70–145 mm (3–6 in) long and 10–26 mm (0.4–1 in) wide. The flower buds are borne in groups of seven or nine on the ends of the branches and in leaf axils on a thickened peduncle 6–16 mm (0.2–0.6 in) long, the individual flowers on a pedicel 1–6 mm (0.0–0.2 in) long. The mature buds are club-shaped, 3–4 mm (0.1–0.2 in) wide with a conical operculum. The flowers are white and the fruit are barrel-shaped, 4.5–9 mm (0.2–0.4 in) long and 3.5–6 mm (0.1–0.2 in) wide.
Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus aridimontana was first formally described in 2012 by Dean Nicolle and Malcolm E. French from a specimen collected near Tom Price.
The public source identifies “Eucalyptus aridimontana” as species of plant. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Eucalyptus, aridimontana and species.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Eucalyptus aridimontana”, the useful work is to connect “species of plant” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 30, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q51046561. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2012.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
