APC Comment:
Intergrades are recorded between E. extrica and E. pleurocarpa (Nicolle, 2000). Eucalyptus conveniens is thought to be a stabilised hybrid between E. gittinsii subsp. illucida and E. pleurocarpa but no contemporary hybridisation seems to be taken place between these taxa (Nicolle, 2000). Nicolle, Nuytsia 13: 318 (2000) considered E. tetragona to be composed of intergrades between E. pleurocarpa and E. extrica.
