Corymbia ptychocarpa (Red Bloodwood)

Description:

Red Bloodwood (Corymbia ptychocarpa) cultivated in a private garden in Aitkenvale, Townsville, Queensland. Photographed on 5 April 1973.This tree was one of the few trees to survive Cyclone Althea in December 1971. The large leaves seemed to just whip around and thus is a good tree for planting in Cyclone prone areas.Digitised from a slide. The original slide, which is of higher quality, is held.www.inaturalist.org/observations/47666359
