Eucalyptus nutans is a mallee tree that is native to a small area along the south coast of Western Australia.[1]
The species was first described by the botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1863 from samples that George Maxwell had collected near Bremer Bay. Around a century and a half later, Ian Brooker and Stephen Hopper published the names Eucalyptus platypus subsp. congregata, E.cernua and E. vesiculosa in 2002 which were al previously thought to be E. nutans.[2]
