Eucalyptus conglobata, also known as the cong mallee, coastal gum[1] or the Port Lincoln mallee, is a eucalypt that is native to the south coast of Western Australia[2] and South Australia.[3]
The mallee typically grows to a height of 8 metres (26 ft) and has smooth grey to brown-tan over creamy grey bark throughout. The adult leaves are slightly glossy and light to olive green in colour. It blooms between November and May producing white-cream flowers.[2]
E. conglobata is distributed from the southern Wheatbelt, Great Southern and the south coast of the Goldfields-Esperance regions in Western Australia[2] as well as the Eyre Peninsula and Southern Lofty Range in South Australia.[3]
