Eucalyptus hypolaena is a species of tree or mallee that is endemic to Western Australia. It has hard, dark grey bark near the base of the trunk, smooth bark above, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds arranged in groups of seven, pale yellow flowers and shortened spherical to barrel-shaped fruit.

Description

Eucalyptus hypolaena is a tree or mallee that typically grows to a height of 15 m (49 ft) and forms a

capsule, 7–10 mm (0.28–0.39 in) long and 8–12 mm (0.31–0.47 in) wide with the valves protruding well beyond the rim.[2][3][4]

Taxonomy and naming

Eucalyptus hypolaena was first formally described in 1999 by Lawrie Johnson and Ken Hill in the journal Telopea. The type specimen was collected in 1983 near the Transcontinental Railway, about 57 km (35 mi) east of Karonie.[3][5] The specific epithet is from the ancient Greek hypo meaning "under" and (ch)laina meaning " a cloak", referring to the hard bark at the base of the trunk.[4][6]

Distribution and habitat

This mallee grows in

biogeographical regions.[2][4]

Conservation status

Eucalyptus hypolaena is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government

Department of Parks and Wildlife,[2]
