There are times I, and many others, question my sanity, deciding to write up a key to the Eucalypts of the Hunter has been one of those times. It was all going well till I got to the Stringybarks and Mahoganies. I’ve been wading my way through it for the past couple of months and will likely take another couple to complete and we’ll probably have to do a special edition of the Scoop to cope with it.
So, (and yes, I know, starting a sentence and paragraph with “so” will probably give the recovering school teachers we have on staff conniptions and I’m also not sure how they are on my use of the Oxford Comma) this month we’ll look at something which is a Stringybark but not a Eucalypt. Intriguing?
