Eucalyptus racemosa, known as the scribbly gum or snappy gum, is a tree native to eastern Australia. An alternative name is narrow leaved scribbly gum, as the leaves are different from the related Eucalyptus haemastoma, a similar and better known tree. Occurring on the poor sandstone soils in mid to high rainfall areas. Restricted and localised around Sydney. It ranges south from Pokolbin, east of the Great Dividing Range.
A small to medium-sized tree, up to 20 metres tall. Smooth barked, with shedding bark of white, grey or yellow. Scribbles often found on the bark. Leaves 7 to 15 cm long, 1 to 1.5 cm wide, greyish green on both sides of the leaf. White flowers form between August and September.
