Eucalyptus scyphocalyx, commonly known as goblet mallee, is a mallee that is native to southern areas of Western Australia.[1]
The mallee typically grows to a height of 2 to 6 metres (7 to 20 ft) and mostly has smooth bark with a stocking or rough peeling bark at the base. It blooms between July and December producing inflorescences with white-cream-yellow flowers.
It is found on sand plains in the Great Southern and Goldfields-Esperance regions between Mount Barker and Caiguna where it grows in sandy-loam-clay soils.
