Source-derived summary

Eucalyptus guilfoylei, commonly known as yellow tingle or dingul dingul, is a species of tall tree that is endemic to Western Australia. The trunk is straight with fibrous, greyish brown bark and it has lance-shaped leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and barrel-shaped fruit.

Description

Eucalyptus guilfoylei is a tree that typically grows to a height of 5 to 40 metres (16 to 131 ft). It has rough, short-fibred, crumbly, greyish brown bark and a trunk diameter of about 1 m (3 ft 3 in). Young plants and coppice regrowth have stems that are more or less square in cross-section and leaves that are egg-shaped, dark green above and paler on the lower surface, 80–130 mm (3.1–5.1 in) long and 55–70 mm (2.2–2.8 in) wide. Adult leaves are lance-shaped, dull green on the upper surface, paler below, 80–150 mm (3.1–5.9 in) long and 15–40 mm (0.59–1.57 in) wide on a petiole 15–30 mm (0.59–1.18 in) long. The flower buds are arranged in groups of seven on branching peduncles in leaf axils and on the ends of branchlets. The peduncles are 8–23 mm (0.31–0.91 in) long and the pedicels 1–4 mm (0.039–0.157 in) long. Mature buds are cylindrical or narrow egg-shaped, with the narrower end towards the base, 7–8 mm (0.28–0.31 in) long and 4–6 mm (0.16–0.24 in) wide. Flowering occurs between November and January and the flowers are white.

Editorial summary

“Eucalyptus guilfoylei” enters the record as species of plant. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Eucalyptus, guilfoylei and species can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current 232-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Eucalyptus, guilfoylei and species.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Eucalyptus guilfoylei” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Eucalyptus, guilfoylei and species provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15396054. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. 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.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
