Eucalyptus cypellocarpa
Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus cypellocarpa, common name Mountain grey gum, is a species of gum tree found locally.It is a straight,smooth-barked forest tree. It has relatively large, lance-shaped to curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and usually cylindrical or
barrel-shaped fruit. It is endangered in Victoria.
When the trees in the Park were originally identified, mountain grey gum were on the list. We now think they were Strzelelcki gums which were listed as a separate species in 1992. To help conserve the species, we have introduced them into the Park, using locally plants grown from collected seed.
