Eucalyptus prava, commonly known as orange gum,[2] is a species of small to medium-sized tree that is endemic to eastern Australia.

Eucalyptus prava is a tree that typically grows to a height of 15 m (49 ft) and forms a lignotuber.

[2][4][5] Eucalyptus prava was first formally described in 1990 by Lawrie Johnson and Ken Hill in the journal Telopea from material collected by Roger Coveny near Torrington in 1973.

[5][6][7] The specific epithet (prava) is from the Latin pravus meaning "crooked", referring to the habit of this species.

[4] Orange gum grows in woodland, usually in poor skeletal soils derived from granite or sandstone.
