Eucalyptus punctata : ウィキペディア英語版 | Eucalyptus punctata
''Eucalyptus punctata'', commonly known as grey gum, is a large tree of the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, native to South East Queensland and eastern New South Wales, where it specialises in poor soils such as Sydney sandstone. Its leaves are one of the favoured foods of the koala. The tree's common name comes from its bark, which takes a greyish cast at about one year of age (see photograph). On most trees this bark is partly shed, revealing a bare and slightly orange or brown tinted smooth surface. The white flowers appear over the summer. ==Taxonomy== Swiss naturalist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle first described the grey gum in 1828. Common names include grey gum and grey irongum. The species name is the Latin adjective ''punctata'' "spotted" and refers to the oil glands which give the leaves a dotted appearance. It is one a group of related species known collectively as large-fruited grey gums found in eastern Australia, the others being ''E. longirostrata'' from eastern Queensland, ''E. biturbinata'' from the New England region, and ''E. canaliculata'' from the vicinity of Gloucester and Dungog in central-northern New South Wales.〔
