Eucalyptus acmenoides (white-mahogany)

Synonyms: Eucalyptus acmenoides var. carnea (heterotypic); Eucalyptus pilularis var. acmenoides (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

Eucalyptus acmenoides, the white mahogany is a common eucalyptus tree of eastern Australia. In the northern part of Sydney, where this tree grows on clay soils, the indigenous name is Barayly. According to Joseph Maiden, the specific epithet acmenoides refers to Schauer's observation of a supposed similarity with the leaves of the rainforest tree Lilly Pilly, previously known as Acmena smithii. However, any similarity with the two types of leaves appears obscure. (See leaf photo comparison below).
