Eucalyptus articulata
Eucalyptus articulata is a low, straggly mallee native to a very small area near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, with only about 120 known wild plants. It is a rare species of dry sandy country and is rarely grown, so the care notes below are general guidance for eucalypt mallees in similar conditions.
Eucalyptus articulata, also known as the Ponton Creek mallee, is a low, straggly mallee that is endemic to a small area near Kalgoorlie in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. It has smooth bark, lance-shaped leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and conical fruit.
Ponton Creek mallee grows in red sandy dunes, arkose rubble and sandy loam. There are three known remaining populations spread over a distance of 1.5 to 2 kilometres (0.9 to 1.2 mi) with a total population of around 120 plants, all on unallocated Crown land in the Mulga area of the Great Victoria Desert biogeographic region.
