Eucalyptus dalrympleana is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae, native to southeastern Australia. It is a fast-growing evergreen tree growing to 50 m (164 ft) in favourable conditions, but much smaller in poor soils. Common names include broad-leaved kindling bark, broad-leaved ribbon gum, mountain gum, mountain white gum, seven-flowered mountain gum.[1] The bark is smooth, darkening to salmon pink or light brown before flaking off to reveal new pure white bark. The flowers are white, in umbels of three and are a good source of honey in summer.
The species occurs in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. In cultivation it requires some protection from frost. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[2]
