 Mountain ash
The Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) of southern Australia is the tallest of all flowering plants.
Mountain Ash is a straight, grey-trunked tree, smooth-barked for all but the first few metres, and is native to cool, deep soiled, mostly mountainous areas to 1000m in Victoria and Tasmania with very high rainfall -- over 1200mm (47 inches) per year.
Mountain Ash is valued for its timber: not so much because of any particular virtue of the timber itself -- it is a heavy, fine-grained eucalyptus hardwood much like several others -- but because of the sheer volume that can be harvested.
