Degree of establishment Native

Threat status

FFG: Vulnerable (VU)

Glandular hairs lacking on branches, leaves, rachis, bracts and outside of calyces. Corolla white to deep lilac, with purple striations confined to tube and hood or absent; anthers with connectives surrounded by usually dense, sometimes sparse, long eglandular hairs. Flowers Dec.–Feb.

EGU, HSF, HNF, VAlp. Confined to the Mt Feathertop-Mt Hotham-The Twins ridge, with an outlier on the southern end of the Mt Buffalo Plateau. Occurring in high-subalpine to alpine locations, especially grassy areas, in or near Eucalyptus pauciflora woodland, also in low alpine heath.

Apparent intermediates between subsp. crassisuscula and subsp. eglandulosa occur on Mt Hotham and Mt Loch. These are the only known instances of breakdown of distinction between the subspecies of E. crassiuscula and may either reflect hybridism arising from human disturbance or relictual ancestral populations.
