Can be confused with Eucalyptus hawkeri or E. viridis. From E. hawkeri it may be distinguished by its smaller habit, shorter stocking of rough bark, lustrous adult foliage and slightly larger buds and fruit. It differs from E. viridis by its broader, pendulous adult leaves, and larger buds and fruit.
