Eucalyptus virens, a new species of Ironbark form Queensland.

Abstract

Eucalyptus virens, a new species of ironbark from Queensland, is described and illustrated and distribution maps are provided. The new species belongs in the informal 'E. series Paniculatae' Pryor & Johnson and is closest to E. panda S. T. Blake. E. virens is known only from three widely separated populations, viz. north-west of Injune (upper Maranoa River), north of Tara and east of Inglewood. Two of these populations are endangered by proposed or potential land development.
