Eucalyptus platypus, also known as moort or maalok,[2] is a species of mallee or marlock that is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It has smooth bark, broadly elliptical to more or less round adult leaves, flower buds in groups of nine on a broad, flattened peduncle, usually creamy white flowers and conical, down-turned fruit.
Eucalyptus platypus is a mallee or a marlock that typically grows to a height of 1.5–10 m (4 ft 11 in – 32 ft 10 in) and a width of 5–10 m (16–33 ft) with a dense, rounded crown but does not form a lignotuber. The bark is smooth, brownish or copper-coloured. Young plants and coppice regrowth have egg-shaped to more or less round leaves 40–65 mm (1.6–2.6 in) long and wide. Adult leaves are the same shade of glossy green on both sides, broadly elliptical to more or less round, 30–50 mm (1.2–2.0 in) long and 20–40 mm (0.79–1.57 in) wide on a thick petiole 3–20 mm (0.12–0.79 in) long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils on a broad, flatted, unbranched peduncle 13–40 mm (0.51–1.57 in) long and 10–20 mm (0.39–0.79 in) wide, the buds sessile or on pedicels up to 4 mm (0.16 in) long. Mature buds are elongated, 25–32 mm (0.98–1.26 in) long and 7–9 mm (0.28–0.35 in) wide with a horn-shaped operculum that is up to three times as long as the floral cup. Flowering occurs from September to December or from January to March and the flowers are creamy white, sometimes yellowish green or pinkish. The fruit is a woody, down-turned, conical capsule 10–17 mm (0.39–0.67 in) long and 10–12 mm (0.39–0.47 in) wide with the valves at rim level.[3][4][5][6]
Eucalyptus platypus was first formally described in 1851 by William Jackson Hooker in his book Icones Plantarum from material collected near King George's Sound by James Drummond.[7][8] The specific epithet (platypus) is from the ancient Greek words platys (πλατύς) meaning "broad" or "flat and pous (πούς) meaning "foot",[9] referring to the peduncle.[3]
In 2002 Ian Brooker and Stephen Hopper described two subspecies and the names have been accepted by the Australian Plant Census:[10]
The Noongar names for this species are maalok or moort.[2]
Moort occurs in an area between Albany and Esperance in Western Australia. It is found on plains and hilly, rocky country in the Great Southern and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia where it grows in sandy, loam or clay soils often around laterite. It extends from coastal areas and is seen as far west as Broomehill to Ravensthorpe in the east.[4]
The species is considered as a weed on the Eyre Peninsula where it is known to invade disturbed areas of native vegetation. The dense low-growing foliage then prevents growth of understorey species.[13]
This eucalypt is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[4]
This fast growing species is sold commercially and is well suited to heavy soils. It is resistant to frost and drought, will tolerate water logging and smog. They are ideal for coppicing and respond well to pruning. The bushy nature of the plant make it well suited for use as a windbreak and the floriferous nature make it useful for beekeepers and honey production.[5]
flower buds and flowers
fruit Eucalyptus platypus, also known as moort or maalok, is a species of mallee or marlock that is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It has smooth bark, broadly elliptical to more or less round adult leaves, flower buds in groups of nine on a broad, flattened peduncle, usually creamy white flowers and conical, down-turned fruit.
Eucalyptus platypus, también conocido como moort o moort de hojas redondeadas, es un árbol pequeño que crece en una área entre Albany y Esperance en Australia Occidental.
Es un eucalyptus mallee que crece entre 1,5 y 10 metros de altura. La copa del árbol es densa y redondeada y las hojas son redondeadas y elípticas a orbiculares. La corteza es lisa y de color café claro, con la edad se hace gris.
Una característica distintiva de esta especie es sus pedúnculos planos elongados los cuales miden 3 cm de largo y 1 cm de ancho. Estos se encuentran referidos en su nombre científico platypus el cual se deriva de las palabras griegas πλατύς (platy: plano, ancho) y πους (pous: pie). Los pedúnculos sostienen capullos sin tallo que tienen cápsulas grandes y en racimos de hasta siete. A estos le siguen flores amarillo-verdosas (u ocasionalmente blancas, cremosas o rojas) en primavera y verano las cuales son ensombrecidas en algún grado por el denso follaje.
Fue descrita por primera vez por William Jackson Hooker en 1851, del espécimen de tipo colectado cerca de King George Sound por James Drummond.
Existen actualmente dos subespecies reconocidas de Eucalyptus platypus:
Dos antiguas subspecies ahora clasificadas como especies en su propio derecho. Eucalyptus platypus var. heterophylla Blakely es actualmente Eucalyptus utilis Brooker & Hopper y Eucalyptus platypus var. nutans (F.Muell.) Benth. es actualmente Eucalyptus nutans (F.Muell.)
Eucalyptus platypus fue descrita por William Jackson Hooker y publicado en Hooker's Icones Plantarum 9: , tab. 849. 1852.[1]
Eucalyptus: nombre genérico que proviene del griego antiguo: eû = "bien, justamente" y kalyptós = "cubierto, que recubre". En Eucalyptus L'Hér., los pétalos, soldados entre sí y a veces también con los sépalos, forman parte del opérculo, perfectamente ajustado al hipanto, que se desprende a la hora de la floración.[2]
platypus: epíteto que deriva de las palabras griegas πλατύς (platy: plano, ancho) y πους (pous: pie).[3]
