Eucalyptus conica

Eucalyptus conica, commonly known as fuzzy box,[2] is a species of tree endemic to eastern Australia.

It has rough, flaky bark on the trunk and larger branches, smooth above, lance-shaped adult leaves, oval to diamond-shaped flower buds mostly arranged on a branching inflorescence on the ends of the branchlets, white flowers and conical fruit.Eucalyptus conica is a tree that typically grows to a height of 20 m (66 ft) and forms a lignotuber.

[2][3][4] Eucalyptus conica was first formally described in 1900 by Henry Deane and Joseph Maiden and the description was published in Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales.

[5][6] The specific epithet (conica) is derived from the Latin word conicus meaning "conical" and refers to the shape of the fruit.

[2] Fuzzy box grows on heavier alluvial soils in grassy woodland from near Wagga Wagga to the Northern Tablelands in New South Wales and Carnarvon National Park in Queensland.
