Eucalyptus lehmannii parallela (Eucalyptus lehmannii parallela)
Description
Eucalyptus lehmannii is a sometimes multi-trunked mallee with smooth bark which is whitish grey to grey-brown and orange-brown and which sheds in strips.The stems of young plants are initially triangular in cross-section with leaves that are alternate, oblong to elliptical or lance-shaped, 5-8 cm long and 1-3 cm wide, glossy green on the upper surface and dull blue-green below. Older stems are smooth and round with alternate leaves. The adult leaves have a petiole 0.1-1.5 cm long and a blade elliptical to oval-shaped, about 4.5-9.5 cm long and 0.7-2.8 cm wide and both surfaces glossy light to mid-green. The oil glands in the leaves common to all eucalypts, are obscure or scattered.The inflorescences appear in the axils of the leaves, have a flattened stalk 4-11 cm which curves downwards as the flowers open. There may be 11-19 or more buds in each inflorescence, with their bases joined. By the time the bud opens, it is about 3.3-6.5 cm long, including the cap (strictly the operculum) and 0.5-1.0 cm wide at the base of the cap. The stamens are erect and greenish-yellow.
