Eucalyptus amygdalina, commonly known as black peppermint,[3] is a species of flowering plant that is endemic to Tasmania.
It is a small to medium-sized tree with rough bark on park of the trunk, smooth grey to brown bark above, lance-shaped to linear adult leaves, oval to club-shaped flower buds, white flowers and cup-shaped to hemispherical fruit.
Flowering mainly occurs from November to January and the fruit are cup-shaped to hemispherical, 4–7 mm (0.16–0.28 in) long and wide.
[3] Eucalyptus amygdalina was first formally described in 1806 by Jacques Labillardière in his book Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen.
[3] Black peppermint is endemic to Tasmania where it is widespread in the drier, north-eastern side of the island, from coastal areas extending well inland to the edges of plateaux[3] where it is part of dry eucalypt forest communities.
