Corymbia maculata (syn. Eucalyptus maculata), commonly known as spotted gum, is an endemic Australian tree. Spotted gum is a tall tree with a straight trunk, growing up to 45 metres in height (sometimes taller). However, there is an old reference to a 91 metre tall tree. Spotted gum has smooth powdery bark which is white, grey or pink; often with characteristic patches ('spots'). The bark is shed in polygonal flakes.
