Description
Eucalyptus baudiniana is a tree, rarely a mallee, that typically grows to a height of 5 to 12 metres (16 to 39 ft), sometimes 20 metres (66 ft), and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, fibrous to flaky, dark grey bark on the trunk of the three which then becomes smooth and grey-brown on the branches. Adult leaves are arranged alternately and the same glossy green on both sides. The leaf blade is narrow lance-shaped to curved, 45 to 95 mm (1.8 to 3.7 in) long and 5 to 15 mm (0.20 to 0.59 in) wide with the base tapering to the petiole that is 7 to 10 mm (0.28 to 0.39 in) long. The flower buds are arranged in groups of seven to fifteen on an unbranched, flattened peduncle 5 to 10 mm (0.20 to 0.39 in) long, each flower on a pedicel about 2 mm (0.079 in) long. Mature buds are oval, 5 to 8 mm (0.20 to 0.31 in) long and 3 to 4 mm (0.12 to 0.16 in) wide with a rounded operculum that has a beak or small point on its tip. It blooms between November and April producing white flowers. The barrel-shaped fruit that form after flowering are 4 to 6 mm (0.16 to 0.24 in) long and 3 to 4 mm (0.12 to 0.16 in) wide with the valves enclosed. The brown seeds are a flattened-ovoid shape and 1 to 1.5 mm (0.039 to 0.059 in) long.[3][4]
