Eucalyptus leucophylla
Also called Kimberley Grey Box, Mount House Box
Northern Grey Box is a small tree or mallee, typically around 6 m tall, native to the dry tropics of northern and north-central Australia. It is a species of eucalypt that is seldom grown as an ornamental or houseplant, so care is best guided by its arid, hot native habitat.
Eucalyptus leucophylla, commonly known as Cloncurry box, is a species of tree or mallee that is predominantly found in northwest Queensland with small populations possibly also occurring in the eastern Kimberley region Western Australia. It has rough, finely fissured bark, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, creamy white flowers and cup-shaped fruit.
Cloncurry box is often found on low hills and in valleys in low woodland communities along with Corymbia terminalis or Eucalyptus leucophloia or Eucalyptus pruinosa often with an understorey of Acacia hilliana and Triodia grasses. It is mainly found in north-western Queensland near Camooweal, Mt Isa, Cloncurry and Kajabbi.
