This interim field guide has been produced to assist contributors to the "Survey of Rare and Poorly Known Eucalypts of W.A." to identify the species of interest. As the list of such species is large, it has been subdivided into different State regions. This first booklet covers the South Coast Region, as defined by the Western Australian Department of Conservation and Land Management (see Fig. 1). Subsequent booklets will cover other C.A.L.M. regions.

Eucalypts have been the subject of recent name changes and taxonomic research. This field guide is the most up-to-date reference available for rare and poorly known eucalypts of the South Coast Region, including new species and subspecies whose names have not yet been published. For information on such taxa, we have relied heavily on the unpublished "Field Guide to Eucalypts Vol. 2" by M.I.H. Brooker and D. Kleinig. We are indebted to the authors for allowing access to their manuscript. We have also drawn heavily on the unpublished research results of Ian Brooker, Lawrie Johnson, Ken Hill, Don Blaxell and Stephen Hopper to whom we are grateful for assistance. Because of the active phase of research occurring on eucalypts, this fielcl · guide is very much an interim report. Undoubtedly, new taxa warranting inclusion in the study will be discovered cluring the course of the survC!y. Common eucalypts of the South Coast Region can best be identified using Chippendale's "Eucalypts of the Western Australian Goldfields (and the Adjacent Wheatbelt)" and Blackall and Grieve's "How to Know Western Australian Wildflowers, Part IIIA".

Funding for this field guide and the Rare and Poorly Known Eucalypt Survey has been provided by the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Western Australian Department of Conservation and Land Management. We are grateful to the Curator, Western Australian Herbarium, for providing access to specimens and to Paul Gioia of the Western Australian Wildlife Research Centre for FLORAPLOT computer mapping.

Species Description and Illustrations

The species are listed in alphabetical order. Unpublished taxa of L. Johnson and K. Hill are given a three letter code and referred to as aff. (with affinity to their nearest named relative). Unpublished taxa of Brooker and Hopper are given as manuscript names enclosed in parentheses. For each species (or subspecies), the main identifying features of the are indicated on the drawings. Other features, including those which can only be seen in the field are included under "Additional Field Characteristics". If there are similar eucalypts with which the species in question can be confused, these are indicated and their distinguishing features highlighted. In cases where a similar species is common and is thus not included in the field guide, full details of the comparison are given. If a similar species is rare, and is included in the field guide, only a brief comparison is provided. Further details can be found on the relevant page for that species.

/\ll illustrations have been drawn using material from the I-I.I\. Herbarium or from other collections. As it is not possible to show the slight variations of ornamentation

2 which may occur within a species, the most representative specimens have been drawn.

Location Maps

The location maps have been produced from records of specimens lodged at the Western Australian Herbarium, from personal records of M.I.H. Brooker and S.D. Hopper and from information supplied by various wildlife officers and individuals as recorded on the Department of Conservation and Land Management species files. The maps have been compiled on the FLORAPLOT Compu~er System at the W.A. Wildlife Research Centre.

The maps of species location are given as a general guide and should not be regarded as covering the entire range of the species.It is hoped that the present survey will either extend the known range or verify the restricted occurrence of certain species. It is also possible that some previously recorded populations or individuals may have disappeared as a result of agricultural clearing, or road widening, or other factors.

Collecting Specimens

Since eucalypts can be difficult to identify and also since we are only looking at rare and poorly known taxa for which confirmed identification is essential, we will be relying greatly on voucher specimens to confirm certain records .

A properly collected, well pressed and labelled specimen will be required in each of the following circumstances:

For each 'new' species or subspecies recorded by a person e.g. when John Smith records E. acies for the first time, a voucher specimen is needed.

For any species or subspecies located a significant distance from its nearest known location (consult the

3 map scale each time as most maps are at different scales). "Significant" may be a few kilometres for an extremely localised species (e.g. E. bennettiae), further for more widespread species.

Whenever you are unsure of an identification.

The following guidelines suggest techniques for collecting and processing specimens so that they remain in a well preserved, identifiable state.

1. Do you have a collectors permit? This is needed before collecting specimens from publicly owned land. It can be obtained from the Senior Clerk Flora, Department of Conservation and Land Management, SO Hayman Road, Como. On privately owned land, you should always seek the owner's permission.. Special Ministerial permits are required to collect Declared rare flora (see Table 1). These may also be applied for from the Senior Clerk Flora, Dept. of Conservation and Land Management, SO Hayman Rd, 'Como, W.A.

4 2. Collecting and Pressing

We recommend that you label each specimen collected with a unique number and your initials. For example, John D. Smith's collection of two eucalypt species at the first site he collects would be labelled JDSl and JDS2. The same number should also be written in your field note book and on the relevant Sight Record Sheet, thus allowing future matching of specimens with recorded information. We also recommend that you collect in triplicate for each of your unique numbers. That is, enough material of each species to enable you to keep an adequate sample and to forward to the Survey Coordinators two duplicates (one destined for the W.A. Herbarium and the other for the Albany Regional Herbariurn) see Fig. 2.

Figure 2. Labelling Plant Specimens

Collections should include leaves, buds and fruits and a small packet of fruits with the seeds enclosed. Where available, juvenile leaves from suckers near the base of the trunk should also be collected. If buds

5 are not available, a search on the ground may produce shed bud caps which are often an important aid 'in identification. Bark may be included if it is unusual.

As soon as possible after collection, plant parts should be put between sheets of newspaper, spread out so that they are clearly seen, and pressed. A simple press can be made from two sheets of any non-bending material, strapped together. Some sheets of cardboard, preferable smooth-sided corrugated cardboard, placed between the newspaper sheets will assist air circulation through the press. Drying of plant material occurs within the press and can be facilitated by keeping it in a warm room or in front of a heater and by changing the newspaper daily for the first few days, and then as conditions dictate. Most should dry in about a fortnight. Once dried, the plants should be placed between clean, dry sheets of newspaper and suitable measures taken to protect the specimens whilst they are in transit.

Figure 3. Pressing Plant Specimens

3. Specimen Label Slips

These are standardised recording slips which must accompany any specimen when it is submitted to a

6 herbarium. These can be filled in by either yourself or the Survey Coordinators (based on information contained on Sight Record Sheets). If you would like to fill in your own Specimen Label Slips, please contact Rare Eucalypt Survey Coordinators, W. A. Wildlife Research Centre, P.O. Box 51, Wanneroo, 6065.

4. Field Notebooks

We recommend the use of field notebooks when recording in the field, with all relevant data being later transferred to Sight Record Sheets. It is important that you make notes on most features illustrated in Fig. 4. when in the field, especially those difficult or impossible to observe on herbarium specimens (e.g. tree or mallee, habit, height, shape, bark features, leaf glossiness, leaf venation and oil gland pattern, presence of pi th glands in branch lets, flower colour etc. Such information should be included on the Sight Record Sheets under "Additional Remarks". If there is insufficient space, please attach an additional sheet of paper. If you have collected a specimen, remember to include its unique number in your field note book for future reference.

5. Where to Send Duplicate Specimens for Identification

Please forward your duplicate specimens with relevant sight record sheets to:

Eucalypt Suivey Coordinators Wildlife Research Centre, C.A.L.M. P.O. Box 51 Wanneroo W.A. 6065

The coordinators will ensure that your specimens are correctly identified, with the able assistance of botanists Ian Brooker and Stephen Hopper. As mentioned

7 above, one of the duplicates you send will be deposited in the Western Australian Herbarium, while the second will be forwarded by the Coordinators to the Albany Regional Herbarium in the CALM South Coast Regional Headquarters, Albany.

6. Confidentiality

We urge contributors to be circumspect in divulging precise locations of the rarest of the eucalypts. Many of these are of considerable horticultural value, and some have been stripped entirely of mature fruits at particular sites by unscrupulous seed collectors in the past. If you consider that a given species might be at risk from such activities, please use general locations (e.g. Ravensthorpe district) when discussing or writing about your survey work. While we require very precise locations on computer sheets to ensure we can determine land status and ownership accurately, publications arising from this survey will not provide accurate details or maps for the rarest species.

20 EUCALYPTUS BENNETTIAE D.J. & S.G.M. Carr

Bennett's Mallee

DiRtribution and Habitat: Occurs in the Ravensthorpe Range near Mt Desmond. It is known only from three plants. Grows on brown sandy soils on rocky upper slopes, in association wilh other mallees, including E. lehmannii, E. aff. gard~eri, ~- occidentalis mallee form, and otlier scrub species, CalothamnuG quadrifidus, Melaleuca uncinata, vanksia lema11niana, Hakea obtusa.

Flowering Period: June, Aug-September.

Additional Field Characteristics: A small, ·many-stemmed mallee up to 2 min height. The bark is smooth, deciduous in flakes and pale-grey to brown. The elongated bud-cap measures 2-3 x 0.25-0.5 cm. The fruits have 3-4 valves and measure 0.8-1.1 x 0.4-0.7 cm.

The species is thought to have originated as a hybrid between E. lehmanii and E. aff. occidentalie (mallee form). It differs from E. lehmanii in having free flowers and fruits (Zehmanii has parts fused at the base). From E. aff. occidentalis it differs in its leaf buds and primary stems being ·triangular in cross-section. The primary stems also lack pith glands.

24 Blakely & Steedman

Burdett's mallee

Distribution and Habitat: Known from only two localities over a geographical range of about 40 km, in the East Mount Barren area. Grows on steep slopes in stands of mallee, sometimes associated with E. coronata, E. tetragona and E. decurva. The dense heath of these areas is less than 1 min height with occasional taller shrubs such as Banksia oreophiZa, Jackaonia sp. and Hakea sp. It occurs in white sand amongst quartzite rocks. Flowering Period: Irregular throughout the year, often ~anuary to March and July and August. Additional Field Characteristics: A mallee or shrub up to 2 m with smooth dark grey over dark orange bark. In sheltered places it may be more than 2 m. Adult leaves are glossy green to blue-green, 6-9 x 1-1. 7 cm, with a dense fine vein network and numerous small oil glands. The buds measure 4-5 x 0.7-1 cm. Inside the bud, the stamens are erect. The valves in the fruit are often united at the tips. Seeds are black, irregular or ovoid, sometimes flattish or flanged. The species is similar to E. megacornuta differing in its lower stature, generally smaller fruits and the bud caps having only a few small warts.

26 EUCALYPTUS CERASIFORMIS Brooker & Blaxell

Cherry-fruited Mallee

Distribution and Habitat: Known only from a very restricted area (one population), between Hyden and Norseman. Grows in low open forest in association with E. saZubric and with a dense heath under storey, inclucling Me Za Zeuca uncina ta. Occurs on reddish loamy soil with surface pea gravel, in a depre5sion on an undulating hilltop.

Fiowering Period: October - March and mid-August.

Additional Field Characteristics: A small mallee up to 3 m with smooth grey over salmon pink bark. Juvenile leaves are lanceolate and measure 3-4 x 0.6-1.5 cm. Adult leaves are 5-8 x O. 7-1. 2 cm. The ovoid buds are contracted at the middle and have a concial bud cap. The fruits have a thick rim, depressed disc and 4-5 enclosed valves. Seed is brown and ovoid in shape.

The species is closely related to E. dieZsii from which it differs in its smaller buds and fruits and in the urn-shaped fruits which are without a flared rim. It is also somewhat similar to E. erythronema but can be distinguished again by its urn-shaped fruits.

The common name of E. cerasiformis is a reference to the pendulous buds looking like bunches of cherries.

28 EUCALYPTUS CHRYSANTHA Blakely & Steedman

Golden Hallee

Distribution and Habitat: Known from two localities over a geographic range of 60 km in the Fitzgerald River National Park. Occurs on rocky outcrops, where it grows in sand.

Flowering Period: November.

Additional Field Characteristics: A mallee up to 3 m high with rigid angular branches. The adult leaves are 5-10 x 1-3.5 cm. Buds measure 1.7 x 1-1.2 cm· and the fruits are 2.2-2.7 x 1.5-2 cm.

The species is thought to be a hybrid of E. preissiana and E. sepularalis. It differs from the former by its urn-shaped fruits which are also smaller than the typical bell-shaped fruits of preissiana. From E. sepularalis it differs in its stiff angular branches, erect rigid peduncles and yellow flowers (sepularalis - pendulous branches and peduncles).

Stirling Range Mallee

Distribution and Habitat: Known from fifteen isolated populations over a geographical range of c. 60 km within the Stirling Range National Park. Grows in open mallee with associated species including E. decurva, E. marginata, E. tetragona, E. preiesiana, E. buprestium, E. decipiene, E. pachyloma, E. falcata and emergent shrubs such as Lambertia inermis, L. ericifolia, Hakea cucul Zata, Banksia coccinea and Dryandra eeseilis.

Flowering Period: . March - April.

Additional Field Characteristics: A mallee up to 3 m tall with smooth grey bark, and stems steeply branching. Juvenile leaves are dull, light green, elliptic to ovate and up to 12 x 6 cm. The erect adult leaves measure 6-10 x 0.6-2 cm. They have a dense venation and a few oil glands. The spindle-shaped buds are 0.9-1.3 x 0.5-0.7 cm. The seed is shining and brown with side wings.

The species has similarities with E. buprestium and E. pachyloma, which it grows with. E. erectifolia can be distinguished from E. bupres tium by its larger more erect leaves, and by its smaller, hemispherical fruits (buprestium - globose fruits, 1.9-2.3 x 1.7-2.5 cm). E. pachyloma also has erect leaves, but its usually stalkless buds and fruits with a broad ascending disc distinguish it from E. erectifolia.

From the former , it can be distinguished by its generally narrower leaves, buds and fruits ( E. te trap tera: leaf 15-25 x 5-7 cm, bud 2.7-5.5 x 1.8-3.4, fruit 4-5 x 3-4.2 cm). It may be distinguished from E. anguZoea by the latter having both buds and fruits with longitudinal ribbing rather than 4 angles. Also, E. anguZosa has yellow flowers and up to 7 flowers per inflorescence.

62 EUCALYPTUS FRASER! Brooker subsp. 'MEL'

Blackbutt

Distribution and Habitat: Of very restricted occurrence in the Fraser Range.

Flowering Period: January - March.

Additional Field Characteristics: A small to medium sized tree with a basal stocking of thick, dark grey-black, rough bark for 1-2 m. Above the stocking, the bark is smooth, grey over cream to coppery. The distinctive basal bark distinguishes this subspecies from E. fraaeri which has smooth bark throughout. Young stems are square in cross-section, reddish, warty and glaucous. Adult leaves are 9.5-14 x 1,2-3,5 cm. The buds measure 0.9-1.4 x 0.4-0,6 cm and stamens are strongly inflexed within the buds. Fruits are 0.7-1 x 0.6-1 cm. The seed is shining, ruby-red to red-brown and flattish with shallow sculpturing.

E. fraaeri is similar to E. cong2obata. The latter however, is usually a mallee (not a small tree) and has shorter buds (0.4-0.8 x 0~4-0.6 cm) which are always sessile.

68 EUCALYPTUS GONIANTHA Turcz. subsp. GONIANTHA

Distribution and Habitat: Has a restricted distribution north-east of Albany, where it is known from three locations over a geographical ,range of c.25 km. Grows in gravelly loam with massive ironstone on hills, in low woodland over heath with jarrah and marri and E. anguZosa and E. preissiana. Flowering Period: November - February.

Additional Field Characteristics: A mallee, or rarely a small tree to about 6 m. Bark is smooth, mottled grey. Adult leaves are lanceolate, 8-11 x 1-1.5 cm with numerous oil glands. Buds are spindle-shaped and measure up to 1.4 x 0,5 cm. The stamens are all inflexed. Fruits are 0.6-0.8 x 0.6-0.9 cm. The seed is grey and smooth. This subspecies may be distinguished from E. goniantha subsp. 'not' by its stalked fruits ('not' - sessile). From subsp. semigZobosa, it differs in its erect buds with conical to beaked bud-caps. The species E. goniantha (including all 3 subspecies) is similar to E. faZcata. However, the latter has pendulous buds and fruits, an acutely conical bud cap, and some sickle-shaped leaves.

70 EUCALYPTUS GONIANTHA Turcz. subsp. 'NOT' (coastal)

Distribution and Habitat: Occurs along the coast from Albany eastwards to Cape Le Grand. Also on Sandy Hook Island near Esperance.

Flowering Period: February, extent not known.

Additional Field Characteristics: A stout mallee with smooth light grey to grey brown bark. Adult leaves are lanceolate or sickle-shaped, 6.5-14 x 2.5-3.5 cm. The bud cap is narrower than the slightly ribbed hypanthi.um. The buds are 1-1.5 x 0.5-0.7 cm. Inside the bud, the stamens are all inflexed. Fruits are hemispherical to conical measuring 0.6-0.9 x 0.7-1.1 cm. The seed is grey and smooth or shallowly grooved.

The subsp. differs from subsp. goniantha in its sessile fruits. Its number of flowers per inflorescence is also greater. From subsp. semiglobosa, it differs in its erect buds and fruits and different shaped buds. From E. falcata, it may be identified by its flattened petioles, erect buds and fruits, and the sessile nature of the latter.

72 EUCALTPTUS GONIANTHA Turcz. subsp. SEMIGLOBOSA Brooker

Distribution and Habitat : Has a scattered distribution from Cape Le Grand east towards Mt Ragged.

Flowering Period: April - June.

Additional Field Characteristics: A mallee or rarely a small tree to 3 min height. The bark is smooth, mottled grey, whitish and pale coppery. The adult leaves measure 8-11 x 1-3 cm.

The subsp. differs from both other subspecies of F.. goniantha in its pendulous buds and fruits, its slightly larger buds (to 1.3 x 1.1 cm) and its operculum being rounded rather than beaked. The shape of the operculum also distinguishes it from E. fa Zea ta. The latter has creamy-coloured spindle-shaped buds with acutely conical opercula. The subspecies is also similar to E. kesseZZii but E. kesaelii has cream buds with pointed opercula, larger ribbed fruits (1-1 . 8 x 1.3-1 . 8 cm) and wide flattened peduncles.

76 EUCALYPTUS HALOPHILA Carr and Carr

Distribution and Habitat: Occurs from the N.E. to N.W. of Esperance. Grows on highly saline flats between small salt lakes on moderately drained loams and sands. It is found scattered in patches in open shrub mallee. Associated species include E. Leptocaiyx, E. r.rncinata, E. graciLis.

Flowering Period: January to April.

Additional Field Characteristics: A small shrubby mallee up to 2 m, with variable bark either smooth and grey or rough and 1 ight grey to brown. Due to its narrow leaves with parallel venation and small stature, the species may be easily overlooked as an Acacia species. Adult leaves are narrow-lanceolate, 4.5-8.S x 0.6-1 cm, light-green to grey-green with sparse vein network and numerous oil glands. Inside the bud, the stamens are inflexed, the outer ones being sterile without anthers. The anthers are ciloboid, opening by lateral pores. The fruits measure 0.5-0.9 x 0.5-0.B cm. The seed is yellowish-brown in colour, flattish to ovoid and pitted like honeycomb.

The species is similar to· E. anguatissima but differs in its saline habitat, wider adult leaves, longer peduncles and fruit with descending disc, thin rim and four valves.

BO EUCALYPTUS INCRASSATA subsp. 'Robust'

Distribution and Habitat: Observed north west of Kamballup on later1te ridges and slopes of the Kalgan River Valley. Growing in open shrub mallee vegetation with E. faZcata, E. aff. uncinata, E. tetragona and scattered E. wandoo.

Flowering Period: Unknown. Additional Field Characteristics: An erect, thin-stemmed mallee to 4 m tall. The bark is smooth and pale coloured. The adult leaves are broad-lanceolate, thick and glossy green with the canopy confined to the top of the stems. Branchlets are angular. The buds have a ribbed hypanthium, short, broad stalk and a rounded-conical budcap. The fruits are strongly ribbed, _appear almost sessile and have 4-5 included valves.

E. incrasaata ssp. 'robust' is similar to E. incraasata but can be distinguished by its wider leaves, strongly ribbed hypanthium and fruit and smooth budcap with a flattened top (as opposed to ribbed and beaked in E. incrassata). This subspecies is also similar to E. anguZosa but differs in its flattened budcap and inland habitat. References: Hopper (field notebookJ

94 EUCALYPTUS LEHMANNII subsp. 'NARROW'

Distribution and Habitat: This variant of~­ Zehmannii has only been observed as a series of specimens at the W.ll. Herbarium collected at the Cor.ickerup Nature Reserve n<'ar Boxwood Hills. No habitat details arc known.

Flowering Period: Unknown but specimens were in late bud when collected in February.

Additional Field Characteristics: Distinguishable> from F:. lehmanii by its very narrow leaves (0.4-0.6 cm wide as opposed to 1-2 cm) and its extre mely large opercula (9 cm long as opposed to 2-3.3 cm in E. Zehmannii).

No information on bark, habit or habitat is available but the very distinctive opercula should identify this possible subspecies of E. lehmannii.

126 EUCALYPTUS 'REDACTA' Brooker and Hopper ined.

,,_D_i..,.s_t_r_i_· b_u_,,t,...i_o..,n_,,..a,..n_d__ H_a_b..,,i_· -=t,..a_t : Occurs in scattered loc a 1 i ties between Kamballup and Bremer Bay with a geographic range of 85 km. Grows on stony slopes, in clay loams, sometimes associated with E. aff. redunca.

Flowering Period: November - January.

Additional Field Characteristics: A mallet up to 10 m in height with smooth white or pink bark throughout. Juvenile leaves are ovate, 6-14 x 3-7 cm, dull and blue-green in colour. Adult leaves measure 6-16 x 1-3.3 cm. The vein network is sparse and there are numerous oil glands.

The species is similar to E. astringens and E. occidentaZis. From the former it differs in its smaller buds and fruit and in its bark. E. aatringena has mostly smooth bark, grey over orange, becoming brown or coppery with distinctive curling, partly detached flakes of black bark on the trunk. E. occidentaZia is generally a larger tree (up to 20 m), with a stocking of rough bark and larger buds ( 1. 6-3. 3 x 0.5-0. 7 cm) and fruits (0.8-1.5 x 0,6-1.2 cm). Also, B. occidentaZia generally occurs in wet clayey depressions, whereas both E. 'redacta' and E. aatringena are generally on stony slopes. A smooth barked form of E. occidentaZis is also similar but differs in occurring only as a low mallee.
