Eucalyptus risdonii
Also called Risdon Peppermint, Silver Peppermint
Eucalyptus risdonii, commonly known as the Risdon peppermint, is a species of small tree that is endemic to the Meehan Range within Greater Hobart and Mangalore in Tasmania, Australia. It has smooth bark, a crown composed mostly of sessile, glaucous, egg-shaped juvenile leaves arranged in opposite pairs. The flower buds are arranged in groups of between nine and fifteen and the fruit are cup-shaped, conical or hemispherical.
The Risdon peppermint is only known from the dry slopes on the eastern side of the River Derwent within the Meehan Range near Risdon, Grasstree Hill and Mangalore in Tasmania, Australia. It grows in low, open forest on sunny, north-west facing ridges.
