Corymbia arenaria is a bloodwood native to Western Australia[1]
The tree typically grows to a height of 4 to 15 metres (13 to 49 ft) and has tassellated flaky bark.[1] The branchlets are red with pith glands present. The adult leaves are disjunct with a lanceolate to broad lanceolate shape. The leaves are grey-green in colour and are 6 to 12 centimetres (2.4 to 4.7 in) long and 8 to 26 millimetres (0.31 to 1.02 in) wide.[2] It blooms in June or January and produces white flowers. It grows on plateaus, ridges and at the bases of cliffs in shallow sandy soils over sandstone.
