Description

These trees look like tall and thing Eucalypts from a distance. In fact, when you walk up to them they still look like Eucalypts. However, I crushed some leaves and the smell was nothing like that of a Eucalyptus species. Found growing in sand among smaller mallee forms of Eucs, they reached around 6m in height. Often there'd only be a few but at times they were quite numerous. They don't seem to grow among the Buloke and taller Eucalyptus trees found elsewhere in the area.
