Eucalyptus miniata

Eucalyptus miniata, commonly known as the Darwin woollybutt[2] or woolewoorrng,[3] is a species of medium-sized to tall tree that is endemic to northern Australia.

The fruits are glaucous at first but lose that covering over time and contain seeds that are dark grey to black, 5–7 mm (0.20–0.28 in) long with an obliquely pyramidal to flattened cuboid shape.

[4][5][6] The species was first formally described by the botanist Johannes Conrad Schauer in 1843 in Wilhelm Gerhard Walpers work Repertorium Botanices Systematicae from an unpublished description by Allan Cunningham.

[3] Eucalyptus miniata is commonly found in open forest, savanna communities and on sandstone escarpments, growing in sandy soils.

[2][4][5][6][9] Red-tailed black cockatoos living in the north of Australia prefer feeding on the Darwin woollybutt.
