Editorial Note
Treated by Bean under the name Eucalyptus linearis.
An elegant, slender tree to about 50 ft high with a smooth, white, deciduous bark. Juvenile leaves opposite for five to six pairs, similar to, but smaller than, the adult leaves, which are green or slightly glaucous, linear, 2 to 4 in. long but only {1/5} in. or so wide. Umbels with five to twelve flowers; buds club-shaped. Fruit varying from pear-shaped with a truncate base to ovoid or almost hemispherical.
A native of Tasmania, found locally in the south-east and around Hobart, from 500 to 2,500 ft. It is definitely tender but is represented in Ireland by the following specimens: Rowallane, Co. Down, 45 × 6 ft, and Mount Usher, Co. Wicklow, Eire, 50 × 23⁄4 ft (both measured 1966). A most ornamental species, remarkable for its very narrow leaves.
