Eucalyptus chlorophylla
Also called Northern Green Box
Greenleaf Box (Eucalyptus chlorophylla) is a eucalypt native to northern Australia, usually a tree up to about 18 m or a multi-stemmed mallee, grown mainly as a landscape or shade tree in warm, dry-season climates. It needs full sun and well-drained soil, and tolerates the seasonal drought of its native range.
Eucalyptus chlorophylla, commonly known as green-leaf box, northern glossy-leaved box or glossy-leaved box, is a species of eucalypt that is endemic to northern Australia. It is a tree or mallee, with hard, rough bark, lance-shaped or curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, creamy white flowers and usually conical fruit.
Green-leaf box is found scattered over plains and low rises in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, near Kununurra and Fitzroy Crossing spreading east through the top end of the Northern Territory from a latitude between Mataranka south to about Tennant Creek and then in the Gulf Country of Queensland as far east as the hinterland of the Gulf of Carpentaria. It is found growing in woodlands and shrubby plains in gravelly lateritic to loamy soils or sand.
