Eucalyptus pyriformis, Pear-fruited mallee, Dowerin Rose, is a small, straggly mallee with smooth, grey or salmon-pink bark often sheeding in ribbons at the base. Juvenile leaves are stalked, alternate, ovate , to 9 x 5 cm. A juvenile is an individual Organism that has not yet reached its Adult form Sexual maturity or size In Botany, phyllotaxis or phyllotaxy is the arrangement of the leaves on the stem of a Plant. Adult leaves are stalked, broad-lanceolate to 9. In Botany, the following terms are used to describe the shape of plant leaves: Acicular ( acicularis) Slender and pointed needle-like 5 x 3. 2 cm, concolorous dull, grey to grey-green with a firm texture.
