Eucalyptus loxophleba

Eucalyptus loxophleba, known as yandee or York gum, is a species of tree which is endemic to Western Australia. The Noongar peoples know the tree as Daarwet, Goatta, Twotta or Yandee', the latter is noted as in popular use. The description of the taxon was first published by English botanist George Bentham in Volume 3 of Flora Australiensis in 1867. A 1903 description by William Fitzgerald assigned the population to a variety, Eucalyptus foecunda var. loxophleba, although Bentham's description as a species was included in a 1985 census and the Flora of Australia in 1988. Records of hybridisation between this species and other eucalypts, Eucalyptus absita and E. wandoo were confirmed in a later revision.
