Genus: Eucalyptus Subgenus: Eucalyptus Section: Cineraceae Serie: Pauciflorae
Synonym(s): Eucalyptus niphophila
English name: Snow gum
Zone: Australia
Description
Eucalyptus pauciflora is a species with mallee or small to tall tree habit, widespread from the far south-east of Queensland (represented there by a single population near Stanthorpe), through the tablelands and alps of New South Wales but also subcoastal west of Bega, the highlands and southern Victoria, central and north-eastern Tasmania, and a single population east of Mt Gambier in the south-east of South Australia. E. pauciflora subsp. niphophila is restricted to the highest altitudes suitable for tree growth in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, e.g. many places in the Kosciuszko National Park, extending to Bimberi in the Australian Capital Territory, and in Victoria on Mt Hotham, Mt Bogong and the Bogong High Plains, Mt Torbreck and Mt Wellington. The epithet of the subspecies is from the Greek niphophilos, snow-loving, referring to the alpine habitat.

Botanical Description
It is a tree or large shrub, to 7m tall. Lignotuber is present. The bark is smooth, white to cream and grey, with patches of yellow and pink, often with scribbles. The branchlets are glaucous. The stem is rounded in cross-section, glaucous, slightly warty or smooth.
The juvenile leaves are opposite for 4 to 10 nodes then alternate, petiolate, ovate, 2.5-7.5cm long, 2-3.5cm wide, base truncate to rounded or tapering to petiole, dull, blue-green to glaucous. The adult leaves are alternate, petiole 1-2cm long. The blade is lanceolate to ovate to falcate or elliptical, 5-10cm long, 1.2-3cm wide, base oblique or tapering to petiole, glossy, green to blue-green, parallel-veined, sparsely to moderately reticulate, intramarginal vein parallel to and well removed from margin, oil glands island.
The inflorescence is axillary unbranched, peduncles 0.5-1cm long. There are 9 to 15 buds per umbel, usually shortly pedicellate (pedicels to 0.4cm long). The mature buds are obovoid or clavate, 0.4-0.8cm long, 0.3-0.6cm wide, green to red under white wax, smooth or warty. The scar is absent, operculum rounded to beaked. The stamens are inflexed, anthers reniform to cordate, versatile, dorsifixed, dehiscing by confluent slits (usually). The style is short or long, stigma blunt or tapered, usually 3 locules, each with 2 or 4 vertical ovule rows. The flowers are white. Flowering has been recorded in December, January and February.
The fruit is sessile or on pedicels to 0.3cm long, cup-shaped to obconical or hemispherical, 0.6-1cm long, 0.6-1cm wide, glaucous. The disc is level or descending, usually 3 valves, near rim level or enclosed. The seeds are black, or brown, 1.5-2mm long, pyramidal or obliquely pyramidal, dorsal surface smooth, hilum terminal.

Sowing instructions
SPRING AUTUMN Select the largest and most fleshy BLACK seeds. Sow the seeds at 2mm depth in the Well Drained Seed Sowing Mix between 68-77°F. During germination keep the substrate moist and in daylight. The seeds germinate in 3-6 weeks. The results are erratic.
The average seed weight is 317,5 per gram (0,00315g).
The viability of the seeds, kept under good conditions, is 10 years.
