Corymbia grandifolia, commonly known as the Large-leaf cabbage gum and the paper-fruited bloodwood,[1] is a bloodwood native to northern Australia.
The tree is typically 3 to 15 metres (10 to 49 ft) in height and has smooth bark. It produces white flowers between September and December.[2]
It's range extends from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, across the top end of the Northern Territory and along the Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland.[3] It grows on rocky slopes or in flat areas in skeletal sandy soils over sandstone or basalt.[2]
There are two recognised subspecies:
- Corymbia grandifolia subsp. lamprocardia[4]
- Corymbia grandifolia subsp. longa
