See text Angophora is a genus of nine species of trees and shrubs in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae.

Endemic to eastern Australia, they differ from other eucalypts in having juvenile and adult leaves arranged in opposite pairs, sepals reduced to projections on the edge of the floral cup, four or five overlapping, more or less round petals, and a papery or thin, woody, often strongly ribbed capsule.

Plants in the genus Angophora are trees, occasionally shrubs, with rough bark except for A. costata.

[2][3][4] The genus Angophora was first formally described in 1797 by Antonio José Cavanilles in his book Icones et Descriptiones Plantarum.

Some have proposed merging Angophora and Corymbia into genus Eucalyptus as subgenera,[8] a plan which was immediately rejected by others.
