Eucalyptus baileyana, commonly known as Bailey's stringybark,[3] is a tree endemic to near-coastal areas of eastern Australia.

It has rough, stringy bark on its trunk and main branches, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers with stamens in four bundles and urn-shaped to more or less spherical fruit.Eucalyptus baileyana is a tree that grows to a height of 25–40 metres (82–131 ft) and forms a lignotuber.

[3][4][5] Eucalyptus baileyana was first formally described in 1878 by Ferdinand von Mueller and the description was published in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae.

[6][7] The species name (baileyana) honours Frederick Manson Bailey who collected the type specimen from near Moreton Bay.

[4][8] Bailey's stringybark is often found on hills, ridges and coastal lowlands as part of dry sclerophyll forest or woodland communities growing in nutrient poor, shallow sandy soils over sandstone.
