Eucalyptus sparsifolia, commonly known as the narrow-leaved stringybark,[2] is a tree endemic to New South Wales.

It has grey to reddish brown, stringy bark, glossy green lance-shaped leaves, spindle-shaped flower buds and more or less spherical fruit.Eucalyptus sparsifolia is a tree that grows to a height of 20 metres (66 ft) with grey to reddish brown, stringy bark.

The operculum is cone-shaped with a beaked tip, shorter than or about as long and wide as the flower cup.

[2][3] Eucalyptus sparsifolia was first formally described in 1934 by William Blakely who published the description in A Key to the Eucalypts.

[4] The specific epithet (sparsifolia) is derived from Latin ("sparse-leaved"), referring to the crown but is probably a misnomer.
