Eucalyptus megacornuta
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eucalyptus megacornuta faces significant pressure from land clearing for agricultural development and urban expansion across its limited range in Western Australia. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its restricted distribution and small population size, with habitat fragmentation isolating remaining stands. Mining activities and infrastructure development pose additional localized threats to surviving populations.
Habitat
Eucalyptus megacornuta occurs in open woodland and shrubland communities on sandy soils in the wheatbelt region of southwestern Western Australia. The species typically grows in areas with Mediterranean climate conditions, often associated with granite outcrops and lateritic soils.
