Eucalyptus robur (L.A.S.Johnson & K.D.Hill) Brooker Angophora robur, commonly known as the sandstone rough-barked apple or the broad-leaved sandstone apple,[2] is a species of small tree that is endemic to a small area in New South Wales.
Angophora robur is a tree that typically grows to a height of 10 m (33 ft) and forms a lignotuber.
It has rough, fibrous, greyish bark on the trunk and branches, Young plants and coppice regrowth have sessile leaves that are lance-shaped to oblong, 80–150 mm (3.1–5.9 in) long and 20–50 mm (0.8–2.0 in) wide with a stem-clasping base and arranged in opposite pairs.
[2][3][4][5] Angophora robur was first formally described in 1990 by Lawrie Johnson and Ken Hill in the journal Telopea from specimens they collected near Kremnos Creek on the Glenreagh - Grafton Road in 1984.
The main threats to the species are clearing for agriculture, too-frequent fires, widening of roads and timber harvesting.
