Eucalyptus cloeziana (cloeziana gum)

Synonyms: Eucalyptus stannariensis

Wikipedia Abstract

Eucalyptus cloeziana, Gympie Messmate, is a small to tall tree with rough bark on most or the whole of the trunk and larger branches. The bark is soft, flaky, tessellated, light brown or yellow-brown, where smooth, greyish white or yellowish above. The tree reaches its best development in the Gympie region, where some magnificent forest trees attain heights near 60 metres. in other places it can be a poorly formed tree of only 10–15 metres. The flaky bark can be confused with the yellow bloodwoods, to which it is not related.
