Species of eucalyptus
Eucalyptus cuspidata is a species of small, spreading mallee that is native to the south-west of Western Australia.[2]
It was first formally described in 1849 by Nikolai Turczaninow in the journal, Bulletin de la Société Impériale des Naturalistes de Moscou.[3] In 1867, George Bentham listed it in Flora Australiensis as a synonym of Eucalyptus incrassata var. angulosa occurring in Western Australia[4][5] as did Joseph Maiden in A Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus.[6][7] In 1988, George Chippendale listed it in Flora of Australia as a synonym of Eucalyptus angulosa.[8] Nevertheless, it is an accepted name by the Australian Plant Census.[1]
It grows on plains and on the edges of seasonal swamps in the Esperance Plains biogeographic region.[2]
