Eucalyptus globoidea, commonly known as the white stringybark,[2] is a tree that is endemic to near-coastal areas of south-eastern Australia.

It has rough, stringy bark, often furrowed on the trunk, glossy, lance-shaped to egg-shaped, often curved leaves, oval to spindle-shaped green to yellowish flower buds, white flowers and small, more or less spherical to hemispherical fruit.

Eucalyptus globoidea is a tree that grows to a height of 30–40 metres (98–131 ft) with rough bark to the thinnest branches.

[2][3][4][5] Eucalyptus globoidea was first formally described in 1927 by William Blakely who published the description in Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales.

[6] The specific epithet (globoidea) is derived from the Latin word globoideus meaning "globoid", referring to the shape of the fruit.
