Eucalyptus todtiana
Nyungar: dwutta

Pricklybarks (coastal blackbutt) grow on some of the most nutrient deficient soils on the Swan Coastal Plain but they provide habitat and food for numerous other species. Their rough, fibrous bark shelters lizards and spiders, while leaves are mined by insects and profuse nectar-producing white flowers in summer attract birds, bats and bees. Beneath the ground, pricklybarks have lignotubers that can resprout after fire. They are known to associate with multiple species of mycorrhizal fungi to improve their access to water and phosphorus. In the corridor they can be found in Moodjar on grey Bassendean sand.
