|}}Eucalyptus fitzgeraldii, commonly known as the broad-leaved box[1] or the paper-barked box,[2] is a tree that is native to Western Australia.[3]

Description

The tree typically grows to a height of {{convert|5|to|15|m|ft|0}} and has rough tesselated bark. It blooms between August and September producing white-cream flowers.[3] The bark persistent over the length of the tree and has a fibrous-flaky textures with whitish patches over a grey or grey-brown colour with pith glands present. The dull, grey-green, thin, concolorous adult leaves have a disjunct arrangement. The leaf blade has an ovate or suborbiculate or orbiculate shape and is rounded or retuse and basally rounded or basally attenuate. When it flowers each compound conflorescence is found terminally or axillary in three to seven flowered umbellasters on terete peduncles. Buds are pruinose with a calyx calyptrate that sheds early. Fruits that form later have a cylindrical or urceolate or campanulate shape with a depressed disc and enclosed valves.[4]

Taxonomy

E. fitzgeraldii was named for the prominent Australian botanist William Vincent Fitzgerald by William Blakely.[5][6] Fitzgerald had collected the type specimen for the plant in 1905 from between Tabletop Mountain and the Artesian Range near the Charnley River.[4] The species was first formally described by Maiden in 1934 as part of the work A Key to the Eucalypts.[2]

Distribution

It is found on rocky hillsides and plains in the northern Kimberley region of Western Australia where it grows in clay soils around basalt or dolerite.[3]
