Eucalyptus cloeziana, commonly known as Gympie messmate or dead finish,[3] is a species of tree that is endemic to Queensland.

It has rough, flaky to fibrous bark on its trunk, smooth bark above, lance-shaped to curved adult leaves that are much paler on the lower side, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and hemispherical fruit.Eucalyptus cloeziana is a tree that typically grows to a height of 55 m (180 ft) in forest but usually 10–25 m (33–82 ft) in woodland.

[3][4] Eucalyptus cloeziana was first formally described in 1878 by Ferdinand von Mueller from a specimen collected near Rockingham Bay by John Dallachy.

[5][6] The specific epithet (cloeziana) honours François Stanislas Cloez who identified cineole as the major constituent of eucalyptus oil.

It grows in open forest and woodland on tablelands and slopes and is often the dominant species of tree.
