About

Corymbia confertiflora, commonly known as broad-leaved carbeen or rough leaf cabbage gum, is a species of tree that is endemic to northern Australia. It has rough, tessellated bark near the base of the trunk, smooth white to pale grey bark above, a crown of both intermediate and adult leaves, large numbers of flower buds borne on leafless sections of branchlets in groups of seven, creamy white flowers and cylindrical to barrel-shaped or bell-shaped fruit.

Where it grows

Corymbia confertiflora is widespread in northern Australia and occurs from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, through the Top End of the Northern Territory and south-eastern Arnhem Land, then near-coastal areas around the Gulf of Carpentaria to near Townsville and the Kennedy River in Queensland. It grows in open woodland and forest on plains and levees, and is often associated with limestone.
