|}}Eucalyptus leptophylla, commonly known as the march mallee,[1] slender-leaved red mallee[2] or narrow-leaved red mallee, is a tree native to inland Australia.[3]

Description

The mallee typically grows to {{convert|6|m|ft|0}}[3] can grow to as high as {{convert|10|m|ft|0}} and has smooth grey bark[5] that is persistent on the lower trunk that becomes a red-brown colour higher. The bark sheds in short ribbons. Adult leaves have a disjunct arrangement and are green, glossy and concolorous. The leaf blade has a linear or narrow-lanceolate and is {{convert|5|to|8|cm|in|1}} long and {{convert|0.5|to|1|cm|in|2|abbr=on}} wide.[3] It blooms between March and August and produces cream-white flowers.[4] The umbellasters are 7 to 13-flowered with a terete peduncle that is {{convert|0.6|to|1|cm|in|2|abbr=on}} long and terete pedicels. Later it will form hemispherical or ovoid-truncate fruit that are {{convert|0.3|to|0.5|cm|in|2|abbr=on}} long with about the same diameter.[3]

Taxonomy

The species was first formally described by the botanist Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel in 1856 in the work Stirpes Novo-Hollandas a Ferd Mullero collectas determinavit published in Nederlandsch Kruidkundig Archief.[5]

The name Eucalyptus foecunda is often misapplied to this species, but E. foecunda only occurs in coastal areas of south-western Western Australia and has rougher bark.[6]

Distribution

E. leptophylla is found in low woodland a mallee scrubland growing in white, yellow or red sand or red-brown loam over gravel or granite. Found on rises, sometimes around salt lakes, on sand plains and near granite outcrops. It is distributed through southern Wheatbelt and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia,[4] through South Australia, Victoria and in New South Wales from Wilcannia to West Wyalong.[3]

Cultivation

E. leptophylla is sold commercially is seed form or as seedlings. It grows at a moderate rate, prefers a full sun position and will grow in sandy and alkaline soils.[7]

The plant is suitable as an ornamental tree, and also makes a good screen or windbreak. It will attract pollinating birds and is drought resistant.[8]
