Eucalyptus archeri, also known as alpine cider gum, is a shrub or small tree of 4 to 12 meters in height, recognizable by its smooth, olive green to grey bark. It is endemic to Tasmania, where it grows above 1000 meters on peaty soils.[1]
The specific name archeri comes from William Archer,[2] secretary of the Royal Society of Tasmania.[3]
