Eucalyptus pseudoglobulus, commonly known as Gippsland Blue Gum, is a Eucalypt species native to Victoria and the southeastern corner of New South Wales, Australia. It is called also Victorian Eurabbie, Bastard Eurabbie, and Blue Gum.
It is a tree growing to 40 m tall. Bark is mostly smooth, shedding in long strips to leave a white or greyish surface; sometimes with rough, partially shed bark at the base. The juvenile leaves are to 23 cm long and 11 cm broad, and the adult leaves to 35 cm long and 3 cm broad. The inflorescence is 3 (or rarely 7) flowered.
Many botanists consider Eucalyptus pseudoglobulus a subspecies of Eucalyptus globulus. This is supported by Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne [1], but not by Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney [2] where it is considered a distinct species.
