For visitors to the southwestern parts of NSW, the following keys should be of assistance. The format is the simple Lucid type and therefore helpful to those less experienced with botany. They were also developed for the identification of non-flowering plants by paying special attention to the foliage.

One of the difficulties I find with Eucalypts is that the same species may have widely different growth habits. In one place a Eucalypt species may have a single tall trunk up to the crown and elsewhere the same species appears as mallee with many short trunks radiating from gound level.

It is often the way that a mallee grown from seed and without a fire during its life will have a single trunk. However if you look around you will usually come across mallee types if that is what they are.
