Eucalyptus houseana, commonly known as Kimberley white gum or tropical white gum, is a Eucalypt tree that is native to northern Western Australia and the Northern Territory.[2][3]
The tree typically grows to a height of 5 to 30 metres (16 to 98 ft) in height and has smooth powdery white bark. It blooms between July and November producing white flowers.[2] The leaf blades have a lanceolate shape and are about 8 to 15 centimetres (3 to 6 in) long and 1.5 to 3.5 centimetres (1 to 1 in) wide and are broadest at the base.[3]
In Western Australia it is found along water courses and in seasonally wet sites throughout the Kimberley region where it grows in sandy alluvium.[2]
The specific epithet honours the doctor and explorer Frederick Maurice House.[4] The species name was first published in the Western Mail by William Fitzgerald in 1906,[5] and used in the accepted description of Joseph Maiden in 1916.[6][7]
