Eucalyptus obstans, commonly known as the Port Jackson mallee, is common eucalyptus of south eastern Australia . It grows as a multi-stemmed mallee reaching 4 metres in height.[1]
The bark is smooth, grey or greenish. It grows on poor shallow sandstone soils from Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to Jervis Bay.[2]
Eucalyptus obstans was first formally described in 1991 by Lawrie Johnson and Ken Hill in the journal Telopea,[3] but the Australian Plant Census considers E. obstans to be a synonym of E. burgessiana.[4]
