Eucalyptus crispata
Eucalyptus crispata, the Yandanooka mallee, is a rare multi-stemmed eucalypt from a small area of Western Australia's Wheatbelt, with only about 85 wild plants known. It is grown mainly in Australian gardens and needs full sun, good drainage and a dry, Mediterranean-style climate.
Eucalyptus crispata, commonly known as the Yandanooka mallee, is a species of tall mallee that is endemic to a small area on the east coast of Western Australia. It has a stocking of rough bark near the base of its trunk, smooth grey bark above, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between nine and eleven, whitish to yellowish cream flowers and cup-shaped, barrel-shaped or hemispherical to cylindrical fruit.
Yandanooka mallee is found in clumps among lateritic breakaways and hills in the western Wheatbelt region of Western Australia between Dandaragan, Carnamah and Three Springs where it grows in gravelly sandy-loam soils. Overall the species has a range of approximately 80 km (50 mi) with an estimated population of 85 plants in the wild, confined to separate populations. It is found in small stands among low mallee woodlands. Associated species include Eucalyptus arachnaea subsp. arachnaea, E. accedens, E. wandoo, Santalum acuminatum, Allocasuarina campestris and various species of Melaleuca.
