From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sand Mallee (Eucalyptus eremophila) is a eucalypt native to semi-arid regions of Western Australia. The epithet eremophila means "desert-loving". It usually grows in a multi-stemmed mallee form, although single-stemmed individuals do occur. The bark is smooth and polished, shedding in late summer. The new bark is yellowish brown, maturing to just brown of gray.
The fruit and flowers vary, but have a long tapering bud cap.
