Eucalyptus exilis
Boyagin mallee is a small multi-stemmed eucalypt (mallee) from the wheatbelt of Western Australia, growing 2 to 6 m tall with a lignotuber. It is grown mainly for its tough, drought-tolerant habit and white flowers, and it suits full sun and well-drained soil.
Eucalyptus exilis, commonly known as Boyagin mallee, is a species of mallee that is endemic to Western Australia. It has thin stems with smooth bark, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of eleven, white flowers and barrel-shaped to shortened spherical fruit.
Boyagin mallee has a disjunct distribution in the wheatbelt region of Western Australia where it grows in heathland and shrubland on lateritic ridges in sandy loamy soils. The three main populations are found near Boyagin Rock, around Bindoon and north east of Mount Lesueur.
