This tree occurs in open flat areas of the tablelands and mountains from near Wallangarra, New South Wales, through the Australian Capital Territory to near Melbourne, Victoria. The name for the genus comes from the Greek words 'eu' meaning "well" and 'kalypto' meaning 'to cover' as with a lid and an allusion to the united calyx-lobes and petals that is called an operculum that forms a lid or cap that is shed when the flowers open and the specific epithet "stellata" means star-like in reference to the arrangement of the flower buds. The common name Black Sally is also sometimes spelled Black Sallee and it is also called Muzzlewood. This plant is good for screening or as an attractive shade tree and the timber is used for firewood. We received this plant through the efforts of the Santa Barbara Tree Diversity Committee but only grew it from 2008 to 2009.
