Corymbia grandifolia, commonly known as the large-leaf cabbage gum and the paper-fruited bloodwood,[1] is a bloodwood native to northern Australia.

The tree is typically 3 to 15 metres (10 to 49 ft) in height and has smooth bark. It produces white flowers between September and December.[2]

Its range extends from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, across the top end of the Northern Territory and along the Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland.[3] It grows on rocky slopes or in flat areas in skeletal sandy soils over sandstone or basalt.[2]

There are two recognised subspecies:

  • Corymbia grandifolia subsp. lamprocardia[4]
  • Corymbia grandifolia subsp. longa
