Eucalyptus broviniensis is a species of small tree that is endemic to a small area in Queensland. It has smooth bark, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds arranged in groups of seven, white flowers and conical fruit.
Eucalyptus broviniensis is a tree that typically grows to a height of about 10m (30feet) and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth bark, pale orange when new but fades to grey. Young plants and coppice regrowth have egg-shaped leaves arranged alternately, NaNsigfig=2NaNsigfig=2 long, NaNsigfig=1NaNsigfig=1 wide and have a petiole. Adult leaves are lance-shaped, NaNsigfig=2NaNsigfig=2 long, NaNsigfig=1NaNsigfig=1 wide on a petiole NaNsigfig=2NaNsigfig=2 long and are the same dull green colour on both sides. The flowers are borne in groups of seven in leaf axils on an unbranched peduncle NaNsigfig=2NaNsigfig=2 long, the individual buds on a pedicel up to 2sigfig=2NaNsigfig=2 long. Mature buds are oval to spherical, NaNsigfig=2NaNsigfig=2 long and about 5sigfig=1NaNsigfig=1 wide with a rounded operculum 3sigfig=2NaNsigfig=2 long. Flowering occurs in summer and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody conical capsule NaNsigfig=2NaNsigfig=2 long and NaNsigfig=1NaNsigfig=1 wide with the valves extending above the rim.[1] [2]
Eucalyptus broviniensis was first formally described in 2001 by Anthony Bean from a specimen collected near Brovinia and the description was published in the journal Austrobaileya.[3] The specific epithet (boliviana) refers to the type location. The ending -ensis is a Latin suffix "denoting place", "locality" or "country".[4]
This eucalypt grows in heath and woodland with a heathy understorey, on the edges of a plateau in the Brovinia State Forest.
