Eucalyptus crebra 10986
Author: Ferdinand von Müller (1825-1896)Family: Myrtaceae Subfamily: Myrtoideae Tribe: Eucalypteae
Genus: Eucalyptus Subgenus: Symphyomyrtus Section: Adnataria Subsection: Apicales Serie: Siderophloiae Subserie: Subglaucae
English name: Narrow-leaved red ironbark
Zone: Australia
Description
It is a tree which is found around Bargo, in the central coastal plains, in the northwest on the slopes and plains of New South Wales and which continues along the east of Queensland until south of the Cape York Peninsula. The origin of its name Eucalyptus crebra comes from the Latin 'creber' which means frequent, referring to the abundance. This species of Eucalyptus grows in acidic, poor, infertile, draining soils but it can also be found on rocks. It grows in temperate zones but can adapt to subtropical regions. It is also tolerant of light to moderate frosts and resistant to drought.

Botanical Description
This Eucalyptus is a tree with a solitary trunk, and it forms a lignotuber. Its bark is rough dark gray or black, hard and deeply furrowed.
The stems are rounded or square in cross section. The juvenile leaves are petiolate, opposite for a few pairs then alternate, linear, lanceolate or falcate. They measure from 5 to 12cm long by 0.6 to 1.7cm wide, green or gray-green. The adult leaves are alternate, petiolate 0.7 to 2cm long. The blade is linear to lanceolate to narrowly lanceolate, measuring 5.5 to 18cm long and 0.7 to 2.7cm wide. The base is tapering to the petiole, concolorous, dull, green to gray-green to rarely glaucous. The reticulation is dense to very dense. The intra-marginal vein is parallel and close to the margin.
The inflorescence is terminal, or sometimes with simple axillary umbels, with a peduncle measuring 0.2 to 1.3cm long and composed of 7.9 or 11 buds per umbel, pedicels of 0.2 to 0.7cm. The mature buds are claviform or fusiform, diamond-shaped or ovoid. The buds are 0.3 to 0.7 cm long and 0.2 to 0.4 cm wide, green to yellow, smooth. The scar is present, the operculum is conical to rounded. The stamens are usually irregularly flexed, the anthers are adnate, globoid, dehiscing by large slits or lateral pores, the style is long, the stigma is blunt or pin-head shaped. 3 to 4 locules present. The flowers are white all year round except in February.
The fruit is pedicelled from 0.1 to 0.6cm long, barrel-shaped or hemispherical, from 0.2 to 0.7cm long and 0.25 to 0.6cm wide, 3 or 4 valves near rim level or enclosed. The seeds are brown or gray, 0.8 to 2mm long, ovoid to flattened ovoid, often pointed at one end, with a shallowly pitted dorsal surface, ventral hilum.

Member of
The Genus: Eucalyptus Subgenus: Symphyomyrtus Section: Adnataria Subsection: Apicales Serie: Siderophloiae Subserie: Subglaucae having the following characters: The buds have two opercula, ovules are in four rows, seeds flattened-ovoid, cotyledons reniform, and anthers rigid on the staminal filaments. Within section Adnataria, Eucalyptus crebra is part of series Siderophloiae subseries Subglaucae, further distinguished by being trees with ironbark, and having predominantly terminal inflorescences, buds shedding the outer operculum early in development, stamens irregularly flexed in bud and all fertile, and juvenile leaves petiolate and not persisting into the mature crown.
Useful plant
This species produces honey of very good quality and strong in taste, and a large quantity of pollen of poor quality.

Sowing instructions
SPRING AUTUMN Select the largest and most fleshy BROWN 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 average seed weight is 1052,6 per gram (0,00095g).
The viability of the seeds, kept under good conditions, is 10 years.
