Eucalyptus lirata, commonly known as kimberley yellowjacket,[1] is a mallee that is native to the eastern Kimberley region Western Australia.[2]
The mallee tree typically grows to a height of 3 to 8 metres (10 to 26 ft) and has rough tessellated bark. It blooms between October and November and produces white flowers. It grows on ridges, rises and plateaus between Derby, Halls Creek and Wyndham where it grows in sandy soils over sandstone, laterite or quartzite.[2]
