Eucalyptus brevistylis, commonly known as Rate's tingle,[1] is a tree that is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
It has fissured, fibrous to stringy bark, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between nine and thirteen, white flowers and almost spherical fruit with a small opening.Eucalyptus brevistylis is a tree that typically grows to a height of 25 to 50 metres (82 to 164 ft) and forms a lignotuber.
[1][3][4][5] Eucalyptus brevistylis was first described in 1974 by Ian Brooker from a specimen collected near Walpole by Bruce Maslin.
This tingle was not previously recognised as a separate species, despite the efforts of the forester Jack Rate.
[9] Eucalyptus brevistylis is classified as "Priority Four" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife,[1] meaning that is rare or near threatened.
