Corymbia aspera, commonly known as the Rough-leaved ghost gum or Rough leaf range gum,[1] is a bloodwood native to northern Australia.[2]
The tree typically grows to a height of 4 to 10 metres (13 to 33 ft) but can grow to 15 m (49 ft). It often forms a lignotuber[1] and has smooth creamy white to flaky tessellated bark at the base. The branchlets lack oil glands in the pith. The leaves in the crown are opposite and sessile with a length of 1.5 to 6.8 centimetres (0.6 to 2.7 in) and width of 0.7 to 3.5 cm (0.3 to 1.4 in).[1] It blooms from October to November and produces white flowers.[2]
It's range extends from the Pilbara and Kimberley regions of Western Australia[2] extending east through through the Roper and McArthur River catchments in the Northern Territory and into Queensland as far east as the Selwyn Range to the south east of Cloncurry.[1]
