Eucalyptus houseana, commonly known as Kimberley White Gum or tropical white gum, is a Eucalypt tree that is native to northern Western Australia and the Northern Territory.[1][2]
The tree typically grows to a height of 5 to 30 metres (16 to 98 ft) in height and has smooth powdery white bark. It blooms between July and November producing white flowers.[1] The leaf blades have a lanceolate shape and are about 8 to 15 centimetres (3 to 6 in) long and 1.5 to 3.5 centimetres (1 to 1 in) wide and are broadest at the base.[2]
In Western Australia it is found along water courses and in seasonally wet sites throughout the Kimberley region where it grows in sandy alluvium.[1]
