Corymbia ferriticola, commonly known as the Pilbara ghost gum,[1] is a bloodwood native to Western Australia.[2]

The tree is able to grow to a height of 15 metres (49 ft) but is mostly much shorter. It forms a lignotuber and has powdery, white to pink, weathering light brown to grey bark that is rough and tessellated at the base of the tree. It forms adult leaves that are alternate with a petiole which is 0.3 to 1.2 centimetres (0.1 to 0.5 in) long. The leaf blade has a lanceolate and sometimes undulate shape and is 4 to 10 cm (1.6 to 3.9 in) long and 0.6 to 2.2 cm (0.24 to 0.87 in) wide.
