Eucalyptus racemosa (Snappy Gum)

Wikipedia Abstract

Eucalyptus racemosa, known as the scribbly gum or snappy gum, is a tree native to eastern Australia. An alternative name is narrow leaved scribbly gum, as the leaves are different from the related Eucalyptus haemastoma, a similar and better known tree. Occurring on the poor sandstone soils in mid to high rainfall areas. Restricted and localised around Sydney. It ranges south from Pokolbin, east of the Great Dividing Range.
