Hill and Johnson, Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae) 
515 
E. pantoleuca is most closely allied to E. mooreana W.V. Fitzg. ex Maiden, differing in 
the larger buds, fruits and leaves, the distinctly petiolate adult leaves (sessile and 
sometimes connate in £. mooreana), and the flood-plain habitat. 
Distribution: Western Australia, north and east Kimberley region (Fig. 5). 
Ecology: sporadically distributed on sandy soils, usually on low-lying areas on 
flood-plains or seasonally wet areas. 
Occasional hybrids with E. camaldulensis var. obtusa are known in areas where the two 
species occur in proximity. 
The epithet is from the Greek, panto, 'entirely', and leukon, 'white', referring to the 
distinctly glaucous, white nature of the entire plant. 
Conservation status: although locally common, populations are widely separated and 
erratically distributed (3R).
