Eucalypts of Western Australia’s wheatbelt

Author Biography

Malcolm first started his interest in eucalypts in the 1980's when he realised that individual species enjoyed specific habitats which was important to relate to from a farm-soil assessment point of view. As this interest grew it was not long before there was cultivation of eucalypts underway at his family's small farm and then the desire to learn more and so the study of eucalypts became a serious passion.Malcolm has been a volunteer with the Department of the Environment and Conservation (D.E.C) for many years, primarily during spare time identifying eucalypt specimens and granting advice for the Western Australian Herbarium. In 2008 Malcolm was granted Research Associate status by the Science Division of D.E.C for significant research and valuable work in the taxonomy of eucalypts.
