Eucalyptus consideniana

Eucalyptus consideniana, commonly known as yertchuk,[3] is a species of plant in the myrtle family and is endemic to south-eastern Australia.

It is a tree with rough, fibrous, sometimes prickly bark on the trunk and larger branches, smooth grey bark above, lance-shaped or curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between eleven and nineteen, white flowers and conical to hemispherical fruit.Eucalyptus consideniana is a tree that typically grows to a height of 30 m (98 ft), or sometimes a mallee, that forms a lignotuber.

[3][4][5][6][7] Eucalyptus consideniana was first formally described in 1904 by Joseph Maiden from a specimen he collected in Springwood with Henry Deane.

[8][9] Maiden gave the species the specific epithet consideniana to honour "First-Assistant Surgeon D. Considen, one of the founders of Australia".

"[9] Yertchuk usually grows in poorly drained soil in open forest and is found in areas between Sydney and Melbourne on the coast and nearby tablelands.
