Eucalyptus dielsii
Also called Cap Fruit Mallee, Cap Fruited Mallet
Eucalyptus dielsii, commonly known as the cap-fruited mallee or cap-fruited mallet is a species of mallet that is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It has smooth bark, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, yellow to yellowish green flowers and cylindrical to hemispherical fruit with a flange near the rim.
The commercially available plant is sold as seed or tube stock. It is planted as a windbreak and for erosion control as is known to attract birds.
Cap-fruited mallet is found in shrubland between Lake King, Ravensthorpe and Salmon Gums in the southern Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia where it grows in clay or sandy soils. It can tolerate acidic or basic soils and is both drought and frost tolerant.
