Eucalyptus pulverulenta

Eucalyptus pulverulenta, commonly known as silver-leaved mountain gum,[2] is a species of straggly tree or mallee that is endemic to southern New South Wales.

[6][7] The specific epithet (pulverulenta) is from the Latin word pulveratus meaning "powdered", referring to the white covering on the leaves, buds and fruit.

[3] Silver-leaved mountain gum is only known from a few scattered populations on the Central and Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, between Bathurst and Bombala.

This eucalypt is classified as "vulnerable" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

The main threats to the species are habitat damage due to grazing, clearing of vegetation for fire trail, and its small population size.
