Corymbia pachycarpa, commonly known as the Urn-fruited bloodwood,[1] is a member of the Corymbia genus native to northern Australia.[2]

The Jaru peoples know the tree as mawurru, yilanggi or warlamarn.[1]

The tree typically grows to a height of 3 to 8 metres (10 to 26 ft) and has thick, rough, fissured and tessellated light grey-brown to red-brown bark. It has a mallee habit[2] and forms a lignotuber. The leaves are dull, yellow-green to light green to grey-green, concolorous and smooth with an ovate to lanceolate with a blade that is 4 to 12 centimetres (1.6 to 4.7 in) long and 1.7 to 5 cm (0.67 to 1.97 in) wide. It blooms in December producing terminal but sometimes leafy inflorescences with white flowers and peduncles that are rounded or angled and 0.5 to 3.2 cm (0.20 to 1.26 in) long.[1]

It's range extends from the Great Sandy Desert in near [[Halls Creek, Western Australia|[Western Australia]] east through the fringes of the Tanami Desert to Wave Hill Station in the [Northern Territory]].[1]
