Statement of Significance

A very large eucalypt growing near the south east corner of the Dorset Gardens site, about 90 metres west of Larissa Court Reserve. It is presently regarded as intermediate between Scentbark (Eucalyptus aff. ignorablilis) and a rough barked Manna Gum (Eucalyptus viminalis) and is of scientific significance because it does not conform to recognised species and does not seem to be a hybrid. It is growing among Eucalyptus cephalocarpa in a very moist location.
