Minni ritchi

Minni ritchi is a type of reddish brown bark that continuously peels in small curly flakes, leaving the tree looking like it has a coat of red curly hair. Brooker and Kleinig (1990) formally described it as a bark type in which "the outer rich, red-brown smooth bark splits both longitudinally and horizontally, the free edges rolling back without completely detaching to expose new green bark beneath".

A number of species of Acacia and Eucalyptus have minni ritchi bark. These include:

  • Acacia curranii
  • Acacia cyperophylla (Creekline Miniritchie)
  • Acacia gracillima
  • Acacia grasbyi (Miniritchie)
  • Acacia monticola
  • Acacia rhodophloia
  • Acacia trachycarpa
  • Eucalyptus caesia (Gungurru, Silver Princess)
  • Eucalyptus crucis
  • Eucalyptus orbifolia
