''Eucalyptus acmenoides'', the white mahogany is a common eucalyptus tree of eastern Australia. In the northern part of Sydney, where this tree grows on clay soils, the indigenous name is Barayly.〔Les Robinson - Field Guide to the Native Plants of Sydney, ISBN 978-0-7318-1211-0 page 40〕 According to Joseph Maiden, the specific epithet ''acmenoides'' refers to Schauer's observation of a supposed similarity with the leaves of the rainforest tree Lilly Pilly, previously known as ''Acmena smithii''. However, any similarity with the two types of leaves appears obscure. (See leaf photo comparison below). Sometimes referred to as the yellow stringybark in parts of Queensland. However, despite the rough and somewhat stringy bark, this tree is considered by scientists to be in the ''mahogany'' group of eucalyptus.〔Forest Trees of Australia, D.J. Boland et al. 1992 ISBN 0-909605-57-2 page 270〕 The original specimen was collected by Allan Cunningham from an un-recorded forest in the state of New South Wales, in January 1817. First published by Schauer in Walpers, W.G. (1843), Repertorium Botanices Systematicae 2(5): 924 == Habitat == The range of distribution is deeper soils with high moisture levels, from Port Jackson (Sydney) north to tropical Queensland. The altitude range of this tree is between sea level and 1000 metres above sea level. The climate is warm humid to tropical; with an annual average rainfall from 1000 mm to 1700 mm.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eucalyptus acmenoides」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
