FFG: Endangered (EN)

Tree to 12 m high; bark smooth, white or grey on upper trunk, with some rough bark on lower part of trunk. Juvenile leaves orbicular, discolorous, subglaucous or blue-green. Peduncles 10–16 mm long; operculum conical, as wide as or wider than hypanthium. Fruit 8–10 mm long. Flowers late winter and spring.

VVP, CVU. Apparently restricted to the Brisbane Ranges, in relatively damp, heavy soils. Typical E. goniocalyx also occurs in the Brisbane Ranges, but tends to grow in drier sites.

This subspecies is somewhat intermediate between E. cypellocarpa and E. goniocalyx, but retained in the latter species due to the fruits and buds resembling those of E. goniocalyx. Distinguished from other subspecies by the largely smooth bark.
