Common names for Eucalpytus sideroxylon are Red Ironbark,
Ironbark and Mugga. In EUCLID, its habit and distribution are
described as:
'A small to medium-sized woodland tree widespread on the western
slopes and plains of New South Wales, also west of Sydney,
extending south into northern Victoria in the area from Chiltern
to Winton; also in south-eastern Queensland away from the coast
and as far as the Maranoa River. An ironbark with only one
closely related species, E. tricarpa, from which it differs by
having seven-budded inflorescences and smaller buds and fruit.
E. tricarpa occurs in coastal hills of south-eastern New South
Wales from Sydney south to Victoria, where it occurs extensively
in coastal and southern montane areas and in the north central
goldfields area. It has 3-budded inflorescences. Plants
intermediate between E. tricarpa and E. sideroxylon with buds in
threes and sevens occur on individuals in some populations, e.g.
Mt Nowa Nowa in Gippsland and Ben Boyd National Park near Eden.'
