Eucalyptus litoralis
Anglesea box is a small tree, about 10 m tall at most, native to a tiny coastal area of Victoria in southeastern Australia. It is a wild species rather than a common garden plant, and it tolerates poor sandy soils and salt wind.
Eucalyptus litoralis, commonly known as Anglesea box, is a species of tree that is endemic to a small area of Victoria in southestern Australia. It has rough but thin, fibrous bark on the trunk, smooth pale grey bark on the branches, lance-shaped to curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and cup-shaped or barrel-shaped fruit.
Anglesea box grows in poor soils on sandstone ridges where it is often exposed to ocean wind. It is found in coastal areas from near Anglesea to Aireys Inlet with an outlier near Lorne.
