Corymbia candida, commonly known as the desert ghost gum, is a bloodwood native to the Northern Territory[1] and Western Australia[2]

The weeping tree typically grows to a height of 20 metres (66 ft). It has smooth, white and powdery bark that it sheds in thin strips.

It is distributed widely through the Pilbara and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia where it grows in breakaway areas and pebbly plains in clay, sand, loam or gravel red coloured soils.
