Description.
"Eucalyptus thozetiana" is a tree that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth creamy white and greyish bark, sometimes with rough, blackish bark near the base and sometimes with small flakes of old bark in patches on the trunk. Young plants and coppice regrowth have stems that are square in cross-section and linear leaves that are long and wide. Adult leaves are the same shade of glossy green on both sides, linear to lance-shaped, long and wide, tapering to a petiole long. The flower buds are mostly arranged on the ends of branchlets in groups of seven, nine or eleven on a thin, branching peduncle long, the individual buds on pedicels long. Mature buds are pear-shaped to oval, long and wide with a rounded, conical or beaked operculum. Flowering occurs from March to November and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody urn-shaped, barrel-shaped or cylindrical capsule long and wide with the valves enclosed below the rim.
