Eucalyptus pauciflora Sieber ex Spreng.

Tree or mallee. Bark smooth, white to light grey or sometimes brown-red, shedding in irregular patches or strips, giving a mottled appearance, sometimes with ‘scribbles’. Adult leaves lanceolate to broadly lanceolate or narrowly ovate; lateral veins distinct, usually almost parallel with midrib. Umbels 7–15-flowered; peduncle flattened or angular. Buds clavate or ovoid, sometimes angular; operculum hemispherical or conical; hypanthium obconical. Fruits hemispherical, subglobular, pyriform or obconical, rarely angled or ribbed; valves 3 or 4, level or included. Seeds black.

Upper mountain slopes and ridges which are covered with snow annually, also in broad valleys and tablelands, often the first tree on the edges of frosty, treeless valleys in the Great Dividing Range; at elevations up to 1,800 metres.

Can be grown by seedlings.
