  • Eucalyptus perriniana, Spinning gum

    Eucalyptus perriniana is a species of evergreen broadleaf flowering plants (in the Myrtaceae or Myrtle family), native to south-eastern Australia. Eucalyptus perriniana typically grows 5–10 metres tall and is well known for its distinctive juvenile leaves, which are round, blue-grey, and appear to be pierced by the stem, giving the impression that they "spin" around the branch in the wind. As the tree matures, the leaves may become longer and more lance-shaped. The bark is smooth and sheds in patches, revealing pale grey or cream-colored surfaces beneath. In summer, the tree produces small white flowers that attract pollinators. It is often planted as an ornamental tree in gardens and parks, on account of its unusual foliage and cold tolerance compared to many other Eucalyptus species.
