Powder-barked wandoo (also found as powderbark 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.
