Eucalyptus carnei also known as the Carne's blackbutt is a eucalypt that is native to an area in central of Western Australia.[1]

The tree or mallee typically grows to a height of 2.5 to 10 metres (8 to 33 ft) and can have smooth or rough bark. It blooms between February and May and produces white yellow flowers.[1] The dull, grey-green, thick, concolorous adult leaves are disjunct. The leaf blade has a lanceolate shape and is basally tapered, dull, grey-green, thick, concolorous. The simple conflorescence has an axillary position and has seven flowered umbellasters with peduncles that are broadly flattened. The buds have a cylindrical or conical shape and form into cylindrical fruits.[2]

The species is found in skeletal soils and red sand and on rocky laterite it is distributed through the Goldfields and Mid West regions of Western Australia.[1]
