Ericomyrtus serpyllifolia leaves usually have a very short leaf stalk which helps distinguish this species from another similar species that has no leaf stalk.

Ericomyrtus serpyllifolia mostly occurs in a triangle bounded by Mullewa (N), Denmark (S) and Balladonia (E).

SQUARE-FRUITED MALLEE. Eucalyptus calycogona subsp. calycogona has distinctive square-sided fruit. The outer stamens of the flowers lack anthers and curl in various directions

SQUARE-FRUITED MALLEE. Eucalyptus calycogona subsp. calycogona has smooth bark. Westonia is at the northern boundary of its range which extends eastwards from Dumbleyung into some of the southern and eastern wheatbelt. It also occurs in parts of South Australia.

MIRRET. Eucalyptus celastroides fruit. This inland species occurs N-S from Menzies to Salmon Gums and W-E from Kellerberrin to Zanthus.

MIRRET. Eucalyptus celastroides is usually a mallee 2 to 8 m high. with smooth bark except for lower parts where it is often rough and flaky. This mallee was about 5 m high.

The species name 'erythronema' means red threads in Latin.

The bark is smooth white and powdery for much of the year.

RED-FLOWERED MALLEE. Eucalyptus erythronema sheds its old bark in winter, revealing bright bark below. The old bark comes off in small strips.

MERREDIN MALLEE Eucalyptus leptopoda var. leptopoda

MERREDIN MALLEE. Eucalyptus leptopoda subsp. leptopoda. Westonia is near the centre of the range of this subspecies which extends westwards from Westonia to Tammin. (The species, not divided into subspecies extends almost to the South Australian border and is sometimes called the TAMMIN MALLEE which is confusing.)

RED MORREL. Eucalyptus longicornis is usually a tree up to 24 m high. It has rough, fibrous grey bark and cream or white flowers. It occurs in the Western Australian wheatbelt from Coorow in the north to Gnowangerup in the south and east to Norseman.
