Corymbia maculata, commonly known as spotted gum,[3] is a species of medium-sized to tall tree that is endemic to eastern Australia.

[4] Spotted gum was first formally described in 1844 by William Jackson Hooker in his book Icones Plantarum, and given the name Eucalyptus maculata.

[7][10] The specific name maculata is derived from the Latin maculatus, meaning 'spotted', referring to the spotted pattern on the bark.

[4] Corymbia maculata is a widespread species in open forest from near Bega and north along the coast of New South Wales to near Taree.

[11] Spotted gum is often used for planting in parks and as a street tree; however, its mature size makes it unsuitable for most home gardens.
