Eucalyptus nebulosa
Eucalyptus nebulosa, the serpentine peppermint, is a small tree endemic to northwest Tasmania that grows on serpentinite soils. It is a hardy native gum best grown in a sunny, free-draining site, and it is not a typical garden or houseplant.

It has smooth, creamy white bark, narrow elliptic adult leaves, flower buds usually arranged in groups of between seven and eleven, pale creamy white flowers and hemispherical or more or less top-shaped fruit.
