miena cider gum

The peak flowering period of this small to medium sized umbrageous tree is from December to January, though it may be identified at any time of year using a combination of distinguishing features, including capsule characters. Being part of a continuum involving Eucalyptus gunnii subsp. gunnii and Eucalyptus archeri, the taxon is morphologically variable, with the most differentiated forms found at the edges of frost hollows where environmental conditions are harshest.
Eucalyptus gunnii subsp. divaricata occurs as grassy open woodland at the exposed edges of treeless flats or hollows (frost hollows) around the Great Lake region on the Central Plateau. Sites occur on Jurassic dolerite and tend to be poorly drained and prone to frost. The recorded altitude range is 865 to 1150 m above sea level.

Permit: A permit is required under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 to 'take' (which includes kill, injure, catch, damage, destroy and collect), keep, trade in or process any specimen or products of a listed species. Additional permits may also be required under other Acts or regulations to take, disturb or interfere with any form of wildlife or its products, (e.g. dens, nests, bones). This may also depend on the tenure of the land and other agreements relating to its management.
