Eucalyptus foecunda
Botanical Description
Eucalyptus foecunda is a mallee in the family Myrtaceae that typically grows to 3 m tall, occasionally forming a small tree to 5 m, and develops a lignotuber from which it regenerates after fire. The bark is flaky at the base and otherwise smooth, grey and reddish-brown. Juvenile leaves are elliptic to lance-shaped and 40–80 mm long, while adult leaves are narrow lance-shaped to narrow oblong, glossy green, and 50–95 mm long. Flower buds occur in groups of nine or eleven and open to creamy-white flowers, with flowering recorded in August or January to February. The fruit is a woody, cup-shaped capsule 4–6 mm long and wide. The species is endemic to Western Australia, where it grows on limy sands near the coast between Lancelin and Mandurah.
