Powder-barked Wandoo (Eucalyptus accedens) is a eucalypt native to Western Australia. Mature trees are around 15-25 m high with branches high up the trunk.

The smooth bark is notable for being covered in a talc-like powder. It is pale-white when fresh, turning a shade of orange before being shed again. The white flowers occur in autumn.
