Eucalyptus newbeyi is a mallee tree that is native to a small area on the south coast of Western Australia.[1]
The tree typically grows to a height of 5 to 8 metres (16 to 26 ft) with smooth bark. It blooms between September and February producing yellow-green flowers.
It is found on valley sides and cliffs along river banks long the south coast in the Great Southern and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia where it grows in sandy-clay-loam soils.[1]
E. newbeyi can be distinguished from the closely related Burdett Gum (Eucalyptus burdettiana) as it has smooth, horn-shaped bud caps, whereas those of the related mallee are slightly warty. It can also be distinguished from Warted Yate (Eucalyptus megacornuta) which has grossly warted bud caps and fruit that bell shaped.[2]
