Eucalyptus argillacea
Also called Northern Grey Box, Kimberley Grey Box
Eucalyptus argillacea, commonly known as Mount House box, or northern grey box is a tree that is endemic to northern Australia. It has rough, fibrous bark, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds usually in groups of seven, creamy white flowers and conical fruit.
Mount House box is found along watercourses and on plains where it grows in alluvium and heavy clay soils. Populations are found only in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. George M. Chippendale (1988) recognized its occurrence also in Northern Territory and northern Queensland, synonymizing E. leucophylla Domin (now considered to be a separate taxon whose type locality is Queensland) and citing specimens G.M. Chippendale 2171 (now its precise determination withdrawn), R.E. Winkworth 1051, B. Hyland 6283 and L. Pedley 2056 (all of the last three currently re-determined as E. chlorophylla Brooker & Done).
