Eucalyptus granitica, commonly known as the granite ironbark,[2] is a species of tree that is endemic to Queensland.
It has dark grey or black "ironbark" on the trunk and branches, glossy green, lance-shaped to curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and cup-shaped to barrel-shaped fruit.
Eucalyptus granitica is a tree that typically grows to a height of 20 m (66 ft) and forms a lignotuber.
[2][3] Eucalyptus granitica was first formally described in 1991 by Ken Hill and Lawrie Johnson from a specimen collected near Atherton on the road to Herberton.
[3][4] The specific epithet is derived from the neo-Latin word graniticus, relating to granite, referring to the usual habitat of this species.
