Eucalyptus angophoroides

Eucalyptus angophoroides, commonly known as the apple-topped box,[3] apple box[4] or apple gum,[5] is a tree endemic to south-eastern Australia.

It has rough, flaky or fibrous bark on its trunk and larger branches, lance-shaped adult leaves, white flowers and conical to hemispherical fruit.Eucalyptus angophoroides grows to a height of 30 m (100 ft) with rough, flaky or fibrous bark on its trunk and larger branches and is usually mottled grey and white.

The leaves on young plants are arranged in opposite pairs, broadly egg-shaped to heart-shaped or almost round, dull, dark green with a lighter shade on the lower side and lack a stalk.

The flowers are arranged in groups of seven, the groups on a slightly flattened peduncle 5–10 mm (0.2–0.4 in) long, the individual flowers on a pedicel 1–6 mm (0.04–0.2 in) long.

[3][4][5][6] Eucalyptus angophoroides was first formally described in 1901 by Richard Thomas Baker who published the description in Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales.
