Trees of New Junction - Eucalyptus lane-poolei

Commonly known as salmon white gum, it is a species of tree or mallee that is endemic to Western Australia. It has smooth but scaly-looking bark, narrow lance-shaped or curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, creamy white flowers and hemispherical fruit.

The gum typically grows to a height of 3–12 m and has smooth whitish grey to orange-brown bark, often appearing scaly due to partly shed flakes of older bark.

Salmon white gum is found on slopes and creek banks along the west coast in the Wheatbelt, Peel and South West regions of Western Australia extending from Coorow in the north to Busselton in the south where it grows in sandy or sandy-loam soils containing lateritic or granitic gravel. A distinct population is found on the western side of the Darling Range. The species favours Guildford soil of the Perth metropolitan region, on the Swan Coastal Plain, and occurs on wetter sites that inhibit otherwise dominant eucalypts.
