Eucalyptus sinuosa
Eucalyptus sinuosa, commonly known as octopus mallee, is a species of mallee that is endemic to Western Australia. It has smooth bark, linear leaves, flower buds fused together in clusters of between eleven and twenty-five, greenish yellow flowers and fruit that are fused into a woody mass.
The octopus mallee is found in about six scattered populations along the south coast of Western Australia between Ongerup, Jerramungup and the lower West River catchment in the Fitzgerald River National Park. Although the populations are widely scattered, the species is often common or dominant where it occurs.
