OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Eucalyptus rudisFlooded gum, is a medium sized tree with rough, dark and light grey bark, however north of Perth it intergrades withEucalyptus camaldulensis var. obtusa so the bark may be smooth and very similar to Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Leaves are stalked, alternate, ovate to orbicular 12 x 7 cm, slightly discolourous and dull grey-green. White flowers appear in winter to late spring.

The tree is widespread from the Eneabba district (29° S. Lat.) southwards in the Darling Range, west central wheatbelt and high rainfall areas of south-west Western Australia commonly on watercourses, swampy ground or very occasionally on granite rock.

Alternative common names for this species include MoitchSwamp Gum and Flooded Gum.
