Mallet (habit)

A mallet is a small-tree form of Eucalyptus found in Western Australia. Unlike the mallee, it is single-stemmed and lacks a lignotuber. Species of this form have a relatively long, slender trunk, steeply-angled branches, often a conspicuously dense terminal crown, and sometimes form thickets.

Mallet species include:


 * Brown mallet (Eucalyptus astringens)
 * Blue mallet, blue-leaved mallet, Gardner's mallet (Eucalyptus gardneri)
 * Green mallet (Eucalyptus clivicola)
 * Salt River mallet, Sargent's mallet (Eucalyptus sargentii)
 * Silver mallet (Eucalyptus falcata or Eucalyptus ornata)
 * Steedman's mallet (Eucalyptus steedmanii)
 * Swamp mallet (Eucalyptus spathulata)
 * White mallet (Eucalyptus falcata or Eucalyptus spathulata)
 * Fuchsia gum (Eucalyptus dolichorhyncha)
