The complexity of Box-Ironbark forest is evident throughout the year. We focused on the bark and leaves of various eucalypts for species identification. Top right - Yellow Box (Eucalyptus Melliodora) has roughly fibrous/finely tessellated bark at the base, to smooth, variably patterned upper trunk & limbs.
