Flooded gum
Eucalyptus rudis
These eucalypts are notable in many of the dampland areas of the Park, particularly along the watercourse of Bennett Brook. Aptly named, the flooded gums will happily grow with their bases inundated in the water.
From July to September, masses of white flowers cover the tree, which develop to form small, delicate fruit that differ greatly from many of the larger woody nuts of other Park eucalypts.
