Eucalyptus risdonii, commonly known as the Risdon peppermint,[2] is a species of small tree that is endemic to the Meehan Range within Greater Hobart and Mangalore in Tasmania, Australia.

[3] It has smooth bark, a crown composed mostly of sessile, glaucous, egg-shaped juvenile leaves arranged in opposite pairs.

Eucalyptus risdonii is a tree that typically grows to a height of 8 m (26 ft) and forms a lignotuber.

Young plants and coppice regrowth have glaucous, sessile, egg-shaped leaves arranged in opposite pairs with their bases joined, 20–50 mm (0.79–1.97 in) long and wide.

[2][4][3] Eucalyptus risdonii was first formally described in 1847 by Joseph Dalton Hooker in the London Journal of Botany.
