Life Science Identifier (LSID):

urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:apni.taxon:369066

LSIDs are persistent, location-independent,resource identifiers for uniquely naming biologically significant resources including species names, concepts, occurrences, genes or proteins, or data objects that encode information about them. To put it simply, LSIDs are a way to identify and locate pieces of biological information on the web.

A woodland tree, up to 15 m, but usually to about 8 – 10m in height. Bark sheds in large plates to leave a smooth, granular and mottled white or grey surface. Juvenile and adult leaves are disjunct. Juvenile leaves are narrow-lanceolate to lanceolate, dull green both sides. Adult leaves are usually lance-shaped to about 15 cm long and 2 cm wide. ... source: Office of Environment and Heritage

A mature Eucalyptus may take the form of a low shrub or a very large tree. There are three main habit and four size categories that species can be divided into. As a generalisation " forest trees" are single-stemmed and have a crown forming a minor proportion of the whole tree height. " Woodland trees" are single-stemmed although they may branch at a short distance above ground level. " Mallees " are multi-stemmed from ground level, usually less than 10 m (33 ft) in height, often with the crown predominantly at the ends of the branchlets and individual plants may combine to form either an open or closed formation. ... source: Wikipedia
