Eucalyptus raveretiana

Eucalyptus raveretiana, commonly known as the black ironbox,[2] is a species of small to medium-sized tree that is endemic to Queensland.

It has rough, fibrous or flaky bark on the trunk and larger branches, smooth pale grey bark above, lance-shaped leaves, flower buds in groups of seven on a branched peduncle, white flowers and small, hemispherical fruit.

Eucalyptus raveretiana is a tree that typically grows to a height of 21–30 m (69–98 ft) and forms a lignotuber.

[2][3][4] Eucalyptus raveretiana was first formally described in 1877 by Ferdinand von Mueller in his book Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae.

The main threats to the species are habitat disturbance during timber harvesting operations and smothering by rubber vine (Cryptostegia grandiflora).
