Corymbia paractia, commonly known as Cable Beach ghost gum,[2] is a species of low-growing tree that is endemic to the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
It has smooth white to pale grey bark, sometimes with rough bark near the base of the trunk, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of three or seven, creamy white flowers and cup-shaped, barrel-shaped or cylindrical fruit.
[4][7] The specific epithet (paractia) is from the Greek paraktios meaning "on the seaside", referring to the habitat of this species.
[4] Cable Beach ghost gum is confined to a small area on the Kimberley coast, near Broome,[6] where it grows in skeletal soils in the area between the coastal beach sand dunes and the red pindan soils.
[3] This eucalypt is classified as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife,[3] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.
