A previously unrecorded system of eucalypt regeneration, via stolons and rhizo-stolons, is reported for field populations of shrub-like forms of grey box (Eucalyptus moluccana Roxb. subsp. moluccana) in south- eastern Australia. Field collections of rooted stoloniferous material were transplanted into artificial media under controlled glasshouse conditions where they produced similar rhizomes and extensive plagiotropic branching. Similar field observations in E. stellulata populations suggest that this clonal phenomenon may be present in other eucalypt species and could have significant implications for research and management.
