Eucalyptus regnans, commonly called swamp gum or stringy bark, can grow up to 100 metres (328 feet). It is the world’s tallest flowering plant, and you can find stands around Russell Falls, in the southern forests, south of Hobart, and in much of the north east.
As well as being valued by craftspeople (locally known as Tasmanian oak) it is important during the flowering season for Tasmania's honey industry.
