Mitä tarkoittaa
Malleet (Eucalyptus spp.) ovat eukalyptuspuulajeihin kuuluvia kasveja, jotka ovat erityisesti tunnettuja niiden ainutlaatuisista, usein kiertyneistä ja kiharaisista oksista. Ne kasvavat vaihtelevissa ympäristöissä, mutta yleisimmin niitä löytyy Australian kuivista sisämaista ja rannikolta. Malleet ovat sopeutuneet hyvin kuiviin olosuhteisiin ja ne ovat kestäviä, mikä tekee niistä suosittuja puutarhoissa ja maisemoinnissa. Eucalyptus-suvun kasveilla on useita hyödyllisiä ominaisuuksia, kuten eteeristen öljyjen tuotanto, jotka ovat arvokkaita lääketeollisuudessa. Ne ovat myös tärkeä osa paikallista ekosysteemiä, sillä monet eläinlajit, kuten koalat, ovat riippuvaisia näistä puista ravintona.

(..) "The Blacks say the lerp is not in any way produced by an insect, but that it is a spontaneous production of the mallee or gum-scrub when very young, say a foot or eighteen inches high, and that it grows on either side of the leaf; that old mallee, or mallee about eighteen inches high, does not produce lerp. Therefore, this year they have burned as much of the mallee as they could to admit of the young mallee springing up."

The existence of the Weir Malleè with its invaluable supply of water, is universally known by old bushmen, though I have met with some who never saw it to know it positively, not having taken the trouble to find out from the blacks which really is the tree. puhekieltä The growth habit of certain eucalypt species that grow with multiple stemNoun stems springVerb springing from an underground lignotuber, shared by species of related genus genera. 1978 June, Eliseo O.
