Distinguishing features

The bark is fairly typical of ironbarks, being rough, hard and furrowed. But somewhat paler than some ironbarks. Also, the bark can be almost corky in some trees. From a distance it may appear brown, rather than grey. Young trees have a compact dense crown, but with age the canopy becomes more open.

White flowers form on panicles between May and January. Juvenile leaves are opposite on the stem. Adult leaves are alternate on the stem, a different green above and below the leaf; somewhat glossy above; noticeably veiny, lanceolate in shape, 15 cm long by 2.3 wide.

Gumnuts are 0.9 x 0.7 cm, hemispherical or reverse conical in shape. (Wikipedia)
