Eucalyptus concinna also known as the Yellow-leaved mallee[1] or the Victoria Desert mallee, is a tree that is native to Western Australia.[2]
The tree stands between 3 to 10 metres (10 to 33 ft) tall[2] and forms a lignotuber. It has rough grey-brown, thick to flaky for the lower half of the trunk with pale grey or coppery smooth bark above. Adult leaves are alternate with a blade that has a lanceolate to narrowly lanceolate shape and a length of 7.3 to 14 centimetres (2.9 to 5.5 in) and a width of 0.8 to 2 cm (0.31 to 0.79 in).[3]
E. concinna grows in red sand or red clayey sand or sandy loam and if found in sandplains or sandhill areas. It is distributed throughout the Goldfields-Esperance and Mid West regions of Western Australia[2] and the west of South Australia as far east as the Gawler Ranges.[3]
