Eucalyptus kessellii
Eucalyptus kessellii, commonly known as Jerdacuttup mallee, is a species of mallee that is endemic to an area along the south coast of Western Australia. It has very hard, rough bark on the trunk of larger specimens, smooth greyish and brownish bark above, lance-shaped to egg-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of three or seven, creamy white flowers and downturned, conical to cup-shaped fruit.
Eucalyptus kessellii grows in mallee shrubland on calcareous loams. Subspecies eugnosta occurs from near Ravensthorpe to near Condingup and as far north as Scaddan and Gibson. Subspecies kessellii grows from north-east of Salmon Gums to near Mount Ney and Mount Ridley.
