Narrow-leaved Ironbark

About

A hardy ironbark reaching up to 35m. Wikipedia's D'Aguilar National Park article names it as a dominant tree of the park's drier, shallow-soil sections, where rainfall is noticeably lower than on the wetter Mount Glorious plateau above.

How to spot it

Persistent, thick, deeply furrowed greyish-black 'ironbark' running from trunk to small branches — unlike the shedding, patchy bark of the spotted gum and grey gum nearby. Linear to lance-shaped dull green leaves 55-180mm long, white flowers in groups of seven, nine or eleven.
