Eucalyptus obliqua, commonly known as Australian Oak, Brown Top, Brown Top Stringbark, Messmate, Messmate Stringybark, Stringybark and Tasmanian Oak, is a hardwood tree native to south-eastern Australia. It grows as a tree up to 90 metres tall, with a trunk up to three metres in diameter. It has a lignotuber, so burnt or coppiced trees sometimes recover in mallee form. It has thick, rough, stringy bark, and glossy green leaves from six to 22 centimetres long, and 1 1/2 to 7 centimetres wide. Inflorescences consist of seven to 15 white flowers. The fruits are barrel-shaped. Currently, the tallest known specimen is 86 m tall and located in Tasmania[3] . Historically, qualified surveyors have documented trees up to 98.8 m (324 ft). E. obliqua has the taxonomic distinction of being the first Eucalyptus species discovered and published. It was first collected in 1777 during Cook's third expedition; the botanist David Nelson collected the specimen from Bruny Island, an island which is part of Tasmania.
