Eucalyptus foliosa
Eucalyptus foliosa is a small mallee gum tree endemic to a limited area near Esperance in Western Australia, growing to about 3 to 4 m with a dense crown. It is a species, not a genus, and is rarely grown outside its native range, so care guidance is general and drawn from eucalyptus horticulture.
Eucalyptus foliosa is a species of mallee that is endemic to Western Australia.

This mallee is found growing in sandy clay soils on flat areas adjacent to salt lakes and has a limited range near Esperance in the Esperance Plains and Mallee biogeographic regions of Western Australia.
