Angophora bakeri, commonly known as the narrow-leaved apple,[2] is a species of tree that is endemic to New South Wales. It has rough, fibrous bark on the trunk and branches, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of three or seven, white or creamy white flowers and oval to cylindrical fruit.

Description

Angophora bakeri is a tree that typically grows to a height of 10–18 m (33–59 ft) and forms a

capsule 8–10 mm (0.3–0.4 in) long and wide with ribbed sides.[2][3][4]

Taxonomy and naming

Angophora bakeri was first formally described in 1913 by Edwin Cuthbert Hall in the Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales.[5][6] The specific epithet honours Richard Thomas Baker.[4]

In 1986, G.J.Leach described two subspecies in the journalTelopea and the names have been accepted by the Australian Plant Census:[7]

Distribution and habitat

Narrow-leaved apple grows in sandy soil over sandstone and is widespread and locally abundant from

Nowra and as far west as Katoomba. There is also a disjunct population, previously known as Angophora exul, now a synonym of A. bakeri subsp. bakeri in the Gibraltar Range National Park.[2][4][3]
