Eucalyptus brevistylis
Also called Rate's Tingle
Rate's tingle is a large eucalyptus tree from the wet forests of south-west Western Australia, growing 25 to 50 metres tall. It is a species grown mainly in its native range and in some botanic and specialist collections rather than as a common garden plant, and it is best suited to cool, moist, temperate conditions.
Eucalyptus brevistylis, commonly known as Rate's tingle, is a tree that is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It has fissured, fibrous to stringy bark, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between nine and thirteen, white flowers and almost spherical fruit with a small opening.
Rate's tingle grows in wet forests near Walpole. It was previously confused with two other "tingle" species, the red tingle, E. jacksonii and the yellow tingle E. guilfoylei. The name "tingle" or "tingle tingle" is thought to be of Aboriginal origin. This tingle was not previously recognised as a separate species, despite the efforts of the forester Jack Rate.
