| Eucalyptus
rodwayi (sometimes misleadingly called swamp
peppermint) is a smallish eucalypt of waterlogged areas,
except in the south-west. It has seven fruit per umbel. It
is closely related to E.
ovata, E.
brookeriana and E.
barberi, but can be easily distinguished from
those species by having fibrous bark throughout the
trunk.
Its habit is similar to that of
E. amygdalina, but it grows in poorly drained
areas rather than the dry rocky places occupied by E.
amygdalina.
