Corymbia terminalis, also known as the Desert Bloodwood, is a tree native to Australia.
Classification
C. opaca and C. tumescens, along with several other species, were previously considered to be part of C. terminalis, but were split off in 1995.[1][2] This split remains controversial, with some authors and herbaria accepting the new species and others considering them to be inseparable from C. terminalis.[3] To the extent that the species can be reliably differentiated, C. terminalis has thinner leaves larger buds and fruit and thicker pedicels than C. opaca.[4]
Region
In the broadest sense, C. terminalis is widespread in the arid central and seasonally dry northern parts of Australia, extending from the northwestern New South Wales to North Queensland, across most of the Northern Territory and the Northern half of Western Australia.[5][6] In the stricter sense, C. terminalis is only found in the northeastern Northern Territory and North and Central Queensland.
The tree typically grows on river flats, scree slopes and dune swales[7]
