Australia, bark, Landscape, macro, Mt Annan, NSW, Plant, Textures, trees, Uncategorised

It was harder to find the common name for this tree than the previous one. Mt Annan Botanic Gardens called it Eucalyptus inversa, The Doc finally found other names including Eucalyptus inversa, Eucalyptus irritans, Eucalyptus israelitica, Eucalyptus kessellii subsp kessellii, Eucalyptus goniantha or the Jerdacuttup Mallee. The Doc chose the Brooker taxon of Eucalyptus kessellii subsp kessellii.

Bark rough, very hard and grey-brown to blackish over lower part of trunk, or smooth throughout on smaller mallees, smooth bark grey-brown and pale brown to pink-orange. EUCLID 4th Ed https://apps.lucidcentral.org/euclid/text/entities/eucalyptus_kessellii_subsp._kessellii.htm

Mt Annan Botanic Gardens referred to this as Corymbia cafie, a little used name. It took The Doc some time to find the more commonly used name of Corymbia hendersonii or Henderson’s bloodwood.

Bark rough over trunk and branches to ca 2 cm diameter, coarsely tessellated, grey to dark brown. EUCLID 4th ed https://apps.lucidcentral.org/euclid/text/entities/corymbia_hendersonii.htm?zoom_highlight=Corymbia+hendersonii
