Eucalyptus synandra
Jingymia Mallee
Rare in the wild yet strikingly beautiful, this ornamental mallee captivates the public with its delicate, but distinctive, white-pink skirt-like flowers. It features a sparse crown and somewhat drooping branches.
A threatened multi-stemmed mallee growing to 5m tall in the northern wheatbelt from Mullewa to Kalannie. Its pendulous slenderly beaked bud caps open to reveal elegant white or pink blooms over the summer months, making it a desirable feature tree for cultivated areas.
