Eucalyptus socialis (Eucalyptus socialis)
Description
The mallee typically grows to a height of 5 to 7 metres (16 to 23 ft), but can reach as high as 12 metres (39 ft). The canopy of the mallee is also around 5 metres (16 ft) wide. Like other mallees it has a lignotuber and can form multiple trunks. The species has grey bark that is rough on the trunk but smooth dull grey above and sheds in long thin ribbons. It blooms in winter around July and produces inflorescences with yellow cream flowers. The grey-green, dull, concolorous adult leaves have a disjunct arrangement. The leaf blade has a lanceolate to broad-lanceolate shape and are 6 to 10 centimetres (2.4 to 3.9 in) in length and 1.2 to 2 cm (0.47 to 0.79 in) wide.
