Distinguishing features

It is a large tree with fibrous bark and cream-white flowers. The trunk is often gnarled and crooked with fibrous grey bark. Like all members of the genus Angophora, the dull- to glossy green leaves are arranged oppositely along the stem. 5.5 to 15 cm long and 1–5 cm wide, they are lanceolate to ovate and attached to the stems by 0.6–1.5 cm long petioles. The leaves in the western parts of the range are narrower than those in more coastal regions.

The cream-white flowers appear from November to March.

The fruit have ridges on the outside.
