Eucalyptus tumida is a mallee that is native to the south coast of Western Australia.[1]

The mallee typically grows to a height of 1.5 to 4 metres (5 to 13 ft) but can grow as high as 8 metres (26 ft) and has smooth bark. It blooms between June and January producing inflorescences with cream-yellow coloured flowers.

It is found on flats and rises between Ravensthorpe, Norseman and Cape Arid in the Goldfields-Esperance region where it grows in calcareous sandy-clay-loam soils.[1]
