Scarp gum, or paper-fruited bloodwood, is a small eucalypt-relative tree native to the Northern Territory, growing in open forest on sandstone escarpments and plateaus. It is a wild Australian species not grown as a garden or houseplant, so care needs are mainly those of a tough, drought-tolerant tropical eucalypt.
Corymbia kombolgiensis, commonly known as scarp gum or paper-fruited bloodwood, is a species of small tree that is endemic to the Northern Territory.

Corymbia kombolgiensis grows in open forest on sandstone escarpments and plateaus from PineCreek to the Arnhem Land plateau.
