Eucalyptus calcicola, commonly known as the Hamelin Bay mallee, is a mallee that is native to Western Australia .[1]
The mallee typically grows to a height of 8 metres (26 ft) and has smooth bark. It produces white flowers between February and October. The adult leaves are disjunct, glossy, thick, with a green or grey-green colour. The leaf blade has a lanceolate shape and is basally tapered. It has simple, axillary conflorescences with seven-flowered umbellasters held by narrowly flattened peduncles. The fruits are globose or hemispherical.[2]
It is found on limestone dunes, ridges and cliffs along the south coast in the Great Southern and South West regions of Western Australia where it grows in sandy-loamy soils over limestone.
