Eucalyptus calyerup (Myrtaceae), a new species of possible hybrid origin from south-western Australia
MCQUOID, N.K. AND HOPPER, STEPHEN D.

Eucalyptus calyerup McQuoid & Hopper is described and illustrated. It appears to be of possible hybrid origin, but morphologically stable, with the putative parents being Eucalyptus occidentalis Endl. and E. platypus Hook. subsp. platypus. It is endemic to the Calyerup Rocks area near Jerramungup in Western Australia and has aroused much interest from landcare groups. It is rare in the wild and in need of monitoring.
