Eucalyptus pellita, commonly known as the large-fruited red mahogany,[2] is a species of medium to tall tree that is endemic to north-eastern Queensland.
Eucalyptus pellita is a tree that typically grows to a height of 40 m (130 ft) and forms a lignotuber.
[2][3] Eucalyptus pellita was first formally described in 1864 by Victorian government botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae, based on plant material collected near Rockingham Bay by John Dallachy.
[4][5] The specific epithet (pellita) is from Latin, meaning "covered with skin", possibly referring to the leaves.
[2] Large-fruited red mahogany grows in open forest, mainly on gentle slopes.
