About Eucalyptus latisinensis K.D.Hill
Eucalyptus latisinensis K.D.Hill is a tree that typically grows to 18 meters (59 feet) tall, and it forms a lignotuber. Its rough bark covers the trunk all the way to the small branches, with a finely fibrous to stringy texture, and a color that ranges from grey to grey-brown. Leaves on young plants and coppice regrowth are sessile, broadly lance-shaped to egg-shaped, between 50 and 150 millimeters (2.0 to 5.9 inches) long, and 30 to 70 millimeters (1.2 to 2.8 inches) wide. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, are the same shade of slightly glossy or dull green on both sides, have a coarse texture, and are lance-shaped or curved. They measure 60 to 160 millimeters (2.4 to 6.3 inches) long, 10 to 40 millimeters (0.39 to 1.57 inches) wide, and taper to a petiole that is 10 to 22 millimeters (0.39 to 0.87 inches) long. Flower buds are arranged in groups in leaf axils or on the ends of branchlets, with seven to eleven or more buds per group on an unbranched peduncle 8 to 15 millimeters (0.31 to 0.59 inches) long. Individual buds attach to the peduncle via pedicels 3 to 6 millimeters (0.12 to 0.24 inches) long. Mature buds are oval, 4 to 6 millimeters (0.16 to 0.24 inches) long and 3 to 4 millimeters (0.12 to 0.16 inches) wide, with a conical to beaked operculum. Flowering has been observed in August, and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, shortened spherical to hemispherical capsule. It is 3 to 7 millimeters (0.12 to 0.28 inches) long and 5 to 9 millimeters (0.20 to 0.35 inches) wide, with valves at or slightly extending above the level of the fruit rim.
