Eucalyptus indurata, commonly known as ironbark or ironbark mallee,[1] is a tree that is native to southern Western Australia.[2]

The tree can sometimes have a mallee and typically grows to a height of 3 to 10 metres (10 to 33 ft) and has rough and furrowed bark. It blooms between June and September producing yellow flowers.[2]

The species was formally described by the botanists Ian Brooker and Stephen Hopper in 1993 in the work New series, subseries, species and subspecies of Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae) from Western Australia and from South Australia as published in the journal Nuytsia.[3]

It is found among undulating plains and rises along the south coast in the Goldfields-Esperance region where it grows in yellow sandy-clay soils.[2]
