The bark is smooth, and the leaves are rounded. The peduncles (stems of the flower buds) are flattened and strap-like, while the flower buds are angular, topped with finger-like bud caps (operculum). The flowers hang downwards (pendant) and are greenish yellow.<br /> Family: Myrtaceae &nbsp; Genus: Eucalyptus &nbsp; Species: platypus &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Yellow<br />Member - John and ValSun, 21 Sep 2014 07:56:00 GMT
