Eucalyptus cometae-vallis 0
Author: Joseph Henry Maiden (1859-1925)Family: Myrtaceae Subfamily: Myrtoideae Tribe: Eucalypteae
Genus: Eucalyptus Subgenus: Symphyomyrtus Section: Dumaria Serie: Ovulares
Synonym(s): Eucalyptus brachycorys
English name: Comet Vale mallee
Zone: Australia
Description
This mallee is endemic to western Australia, on the northern sandy plains and central wheat belt east of Mullewa Coorow, Cowcowing Lakes and Merredin. It also occurs sporadically in drier goldfields further east and north, for example near Barlee Lake, Menzies, Cosmo Newberry, Queen Victoria Springs. The origin of its name Eucalyptus brachycorys comes from the Greek ‘brachy’ which means short, and ‘korys’, which means helmet referring to the short operculum. It grows in yellow, red or brown sand soils. It is suitable for arid and semi-arid climate and can adapt to regions with hot temperatures. It is tolerant of acid and alkaline soil, and to light frosts.

Botanical Description
This Eucalyptus is a mallee and forms a lignotuber. The bark is rough, gray, shaggy to ribbony on part or all of the trunk and on the branches of 10cm in diameter. On smaller mallees, the bark is smooth and pinkish-gray to whitish and yellow-green.
The stems are rounded or square in cross section. The juvenile leaves are always petiolate, alternate, lanceolate. They measure 5.5 to 8cm long and 1 to 2cm wide. The juvenile leaves are dull, gray-green in color. The adult leaves are alternate, petiolate 0.8 to 1.5cm long. The blade is linear to narrowly lanceolate, measuring 6 to 10cm long and 0.6 to 1.5cm wide. The base is tapering to the petiole, the margin is entire and the apex pointed. The color of the leaves is concolorous, bright, green.
The inflorescence is unbranched axillary, with a peduncle measuring 0.6 to 1.2cm long and composed of 7 to 9 or 11 buds per umbel, with pedicel which measures 0.2 to 0.6cm long. The mature buds are cylindrical to closely pyriform and measure 0.6 to 0.9cm long by 0.3 to 0.5cm wide, always with constriction at the join of the hypanthium and the operculum. The scar is present, the operculum is rounded to flattened with a conspicuous but short beak 0.15 to 0.3cm long. The stamens are inflexed, the anthers are oblong, versatile, dorsifixed, dehiscing by longitudinal slits, the style is long and straight, the stigma broadly rounded to tapered. 3 or 4 locules present. The flowers are white from February to April.
The fruit is pedicelled from 0.2 to 0.8cm long, barrel-shaped, obconical, or cupular, from 0.5 to 0.8cm long by 0.5 to 0.7cm wide, 3 to 4 valves at rim level. The seeds are brown and 0.5 to 1.8mm long, flattened-ovoid with dorsal surface shallowly and clearly reticulated, ventral hilum.

Member of
The Genus: Eucalyptus Subgenus: Symphyomyrtus Section: Dumaria Serie: Ovulares having the following characters: The buds have two opercula, stamens are strongly inflexed, ovules are in 4 rows on the placentae and cotyledons are reniform. Within section Dumaria Eucalyptus cometae-vallis belongs to a small sub-group of nine closely related species which are together called series Ovulares. The series is further diagnosed by glandular pith, cuboid anthers, and seeds with a brown shallowly and clearly reticulate dorsal seedcoat.
Useful plant
The trunk is not commercially important, but its flowers are appreciated by beekeepers. This eucalyptus is used in gardens, parks, roadsides, as a small windbreaker and to control wind erosion.
