Eucalyptus melanophloia, commonly known as silver-leaved ironbark,[2] is a species of tree that is endemic to northeastern Australia.

The crown is usually composed of juvenile leaves that are dull, glaucous, sessile and arranged in opposite pairs.

The flower buds are arranged on the ends of the branchlets in groups of seven on a branching peduncle 5–15 mm (0.20–0.59 in) long.

The flowers are white and the fruit is a woody, cup-shaped to hemispherical capsule 3–8 mm (0.12–0.31 in) long and wide with the valves near or below rim level.

[2][3][4] Eucalyptus melanophloia was first formally described in 1859 by Ferdinand von Mueller and the description was published in the Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society, Botany.
