#EucalyptusLeucoxylon, commonly known as #yellowgum, #bluegum or #whiteironbark, is a small to medium-sized tree that is endemic to south-eastern Australia.

It has smooth yellowish bark with some rough bark near the base, lance-shaped or curved leaves, flower buds in groups of three and cylindrical, barrel-shaped or shortened spherical fruit.

A widely cultivated species, it has white, red or pink flowers.
