%X A new species, Eucalyptus    fusiformis Boland et Kleinig, from the north coast of New South Wales is described. Its    taxonomic position is in E. subgenus Symphyomyrtus series Paniculatae following the    informal classification of eucalypts proposed by Pryor and Johnson (1971). E. fusiformis    is characterised by its flowers, fruits and adult leaves. In the bud the staminal filaments    are fully inflected while the androecium has outer staminodes and the anthers are cuboid    and adnate. The fruits are narrow, often truncate fusiform, tapering into long slender    pedicels. The adult leaves are dull grey, concolorous and hypoamphistomatic. The species    resembles the more numerous and often co-occurring ironbark E. siderophloia which has    similar adult and seedling leaves. The volatile oils of both species are very similar. The    ecology, distribution, taxonomic affinities and conservation status are discussed.
