Angophora crassifolia is a small tree growing in the northern parts of Sydney, Australia . A rare plant with a ROTAP rating of 2RCA. It seems to be restricted to the plateau areas in and around Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and Garigal National Park, growing on lateritic soils.
A small tree to 15 metres high, with tougher more rigid leaves and larger gumnuts than the related Angophora bakeri. The specific epithet crassifolia is derived from Latin, referring to the thick leaves.[1] If this species was to be moved into the genus Eucalyptus, the proposed new name would be Eucalyptus crassifolia.
The original specimen was collected beside Mona Vale Road near Terrey Hills by G. J. Leach on May 21, 1975.[2]
