Corymbia calophylla<\/i> (also known as Eucalyptus<\/font><\/a> calophylla<\/i> R. Br.) is a bloodwood<\/font><\/a> native to <\/font>Western Australia<\/font><\/a>.<\/font> Common names include Marri<\/b> and Port Gregory Gum<\/b>,[1]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> and a long-standing usage has been Red Gum<\/b> due to the red gum effusions often found on trunks.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

It is distinctive among bloodwoods for its very large buds and fruit<\/font> (colloquially “honky nuts” in Western Australia).<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
In 2009, Parra-O and colleagues published a combined analysis of nuclear rDNA (ETS + ITS) and morphological characters published to clarify relationships within the genus Corymbia<\/i>. C. calophylla<\/i> was found to form a natural group with two other Western Australian species C. ficifolia<\/i> and C. haematoxylon<\/a><\/i>. They classified the group as section Calophyllae<\/i> within the subgenus Corymbia<\/i>.[2]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It is related and somewhat similar to the Red-flowering Gum (Corymbia ficifolia<\/a><\/i>).<\/font> C. calophylla<\/i> differs in being much larger (to about 50 metres (160\u00a0ft) high in the wild), having very much larger buds and fruit, and having flowers that are usually white to pink<\/font> instead of red. <\/font>However, in some areas hybridisation makes identification difficult.<\/div>\n
It will grow on comparatively poor soil, but good specimens are considered an indicator of the better agricultural soils.<\/font><\/div>\n

ages of Corymbia calophylla (Myrtaceace)\u00a0: 1 post by 1 author. Attachments<\/span> (7)<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It is my pleasure to share\u00a0few images of Corymbia calophylla<\/i>,formerly Eucalyptus calophylla<\/i> (Myrtaceae<\/i>) <\/span><\/p>\n

Commonly known as the Red Gum, Marri, Port Gregory Gum <\/b>etc. this species is distinct from the similar looking Corymbia ficifolia<\/i> that has red flowers instead of white to pink as in the instant specimen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Habit: A large tree over 50 m height.<\/font><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Habitat: Planted long ago, Possibly around or after the reign of the then Ruler of Mysore, Tippu Sultan who introduced Eucalypts in India around 1790…!<\/font><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sighting: Chikmagalur, Karnataka, about 1000 msl<\/font><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Date: 27-05-2014, 31-05-2014, 25-11-2015 and 12-12-2015<\/span><\/p>\n
