Eucalyptus moorei
species of plant
Eucalyptus moorei, commonly known as narrow-leaved sally, is a species of mallee that is endemic to New South Wales. It has smooth bark, linear to narrow lance-shaped or curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between seven and fifteen, white flowers and cup-shaped or shortened spherical fruit.
Description
Eucalyptus moorei is a mallee that typically grows to a height of 6–10 m (20–33 ft) and forms a lignotuber. Young plants and coppice regrowth have sessile leaves arranged in opposite pairs, linear to oblong 28–45 mm (1.1–1.8 in) long and 6–25 mm (0.24–0.98 in) wide. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, linear to narrow lance-shaped or curved, the same glossy green on both sides, 30–90 mm (1.2–3.5 in) long and 4–13 mm (0.16–0.51 in) wide on a petiole up to 8 mm (0.31 in) long. The flower buds are arranged in clusters of between seven and fifteen in leaf axils on an unbranched peduncle 1–7 mm (0.039–0.276 in) long, the individual buds sessile, or on a pedicel up to 1 mm (0.039 in) long. Mature buds are top-shaped, 5–7 mm (0.20–0.28 in) long and about 2 mm (0.079 in) wide with a conical to horn-shaped operculum. Flowering occurs between February and May and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody cup-shaped or shortened spherical capsule 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long and 3–6 mm (0.12–0.24 in) wide with the valves enclosed below the level of the rim.
Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus moorei was first formally described in 1905 by Joseph Maiden and Richard Hind Cambage from a specimen collected "on the highest parts of the Blue Mountains" and the description was published in Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales.
The public source identifies “Eucalyptus moorei” as species of plant. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Eucalyptus, moorei and species.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Eucalyptus moorei”, 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 Jun 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4529681. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1905.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
