Eucalyptus blaxlandii
species of plant
Eucalyptus blaxlandii, commonly known as Blaxland's stringybark, is a tree that is endemic to south eastern New South Wales. It is a stringybark with lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds arranged in group of nine or eleven, white flowers and hemispherical fruit.
Description
Eucalyptus blaxlandii is a tree that grows to a height of 30–35 metres (98–115 ft) and forms a lignotuber. It has persistent, rough, dark brown to greyish stringy bark on the trunk and larger branches and smooth, whitish bark on the thinner ones. Young plants and coppice regrowth have glossy lance-shaped to egg-shaped leaves 40–80 mm (1.6–3.1 in) long, 15–40 mm (0.6–2 in) wide that are a different green on the opposite sides of the leaves and have a petiole. Adult leaves are lance-shaped, 60–120 mm (2.4–4.7 in) long and 13–27 mm (0.5–1 in) wide on a petiole 5–17 mm (0.20–0.67 in) long and the same slightly glossy green on both sides. The flowers are usually borne in groups of nine or eleven in leaf axils on an unbranched peduncle 5–14 mm (0.20–0.55 in) long, the individual buds on a pedicel up to 3 mm (0.12 in) long. Mature buds are oblong or oval, about 6 mm (0.24 in) long and 3–4 mm (0.1–0.2 in) wide with a rounded operculum. Flowering has been observed in March and November and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, sessile, hemispherical capsule 4–6 mm (0.16–0.24 in) long and 7–13 mm (0.3–0.5 in) wide with the valves level with the rim or slightly above.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Eucalyptus blaxlandii” as species of plant. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as species of plant. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
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 Jun 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5405538. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
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.
