Corymbia scabrida, commonly known as the rough-leaved yellowjacket,[1] is a member of the Corymbia genus native to Queensland.
The tree typically grows to a height of 15 metres (49 ft) and has pale brown to yellow-brown or orange bark that is thick,soft, tessellated and persistent throughout. Adult leaves are disjunct and lanceolate to elliptic or ovate in shape. The leaves are dull, green, thick, discolorous[2] and 6 to 12 cm (2.4 to 4.7 in) long and 16 to 35 mm (0.63 to 1.38 in) wide. It blooms in October[1] producing compound terminal conflorescence with regular seven-flowered that are cream or white umbellasters. Fruits are produced later that are ovoid to urceolate in shape, they are pedicellate and contain regular and flattened seeds.[2]
C. scabrida has a restricted distribution in Central Queensland[3] that grows on low sandstone ridges and hills in shallow, sandy, loamy or gravelly soils. It is found in in woodland communities and is often co-dominant in association with Eucalyptus melanophloia, Corymbia clarksoniana, Angophora leiocarpa, Eucalyptus chloroclada and Corymbia polycarpa.[1]
