Verloove 13447 (BR). https://observation.org/observation/205256471/ Notes Eucalyptus camaldulensis is commonly planted in the Canary Islands and relatively easily self-seeds. The plants that are usually seen have opercula which are strongly beaked; they belong to subsp. Eucalyptus camaldulensis camaldulensis . In Gran Canaria, subsp. Eucalyptus camaldulensis arida has also been recorded, although only as a planted tree. It is often found in mixed plantations with subsp. Eucalyptus camaldulensis camaldulensis ( Marrero Rodriguez 2016 ). It is distinguished by the mature buds that have an obtuse to rounded, not beaked, operculum. In Santiago del Teide in Tenerife, these two subspecies are mass-planted in and on the verge of an abandoned quarry. Both are reproducing from seed.
