Eucalyptus relicta Hopper & Ward.-Johnson , legitimate, scientific
Hopper, S.D. & Wardell-Johnson, G. (16 December 2004), Eucalyptus virginea and E. relicta (Myrtaceae), two new rare forest trees from south-western Australia allied to E. lane-poolei, and a new phantom hybrid. Nuytsia 15(2): 235-237, Fig. 3 [tax. nov.]
  • Type: "3.0 km E of Sabina Road, 33°46'11"S, 115°27'53"E, Western Australia, 21 January 1993, G. Wardell-Johnson 3180 (holo: PERTH 02657503).
  • Etymology: "The specific epithet refers to the phylogenetic and landscape position of the species. It appears to be a classic wet-country relict comparable to the tingles (E. guilfoylei, E. jacksonii, E. brevistylis – Wardell-Johnson and Coates 1996), being an early branching lineage together with E. virginea and E. lane-poolei of the E. series Curviptera."
