Eucalyptus corrugata, also known as rough fruited mallee, is a eucalypt that is native to Western Australia.[1]

The tree typically grows to a height of 4 to 15 metres (13 to 49 ft).[1] The white or grey and grey-brown or yellow bark is smooth throughout or persistent on the base whee it is fibrous-flaky with whitish patches. The adult leaves are disjunct, glossy, green, thick and concolorous. The blade has a narrow lanceolate or lanceolate to falcate shape that is basally tapered.[2] When the tree blooms between October and March[1] it forms a simple axillary conflorescence with three-flowered umbellasters and terete peduncles. Buds are clavate with calyptrate calyx that sheds early. Fruits form that are hemispherical with a depressed or flat disc and valves that are exserted.[2]
