Pink bloodwood

Corymbia intermedia, commonly known as pink bloodwood, is a medium to large evergreen tree in the family Myrtaceae endemic to coastal and subcoastal eastern Australia from northern New South Wales through Queensland to the Cape York Peninsula. Mature trees commonly reach 20 to 35 metres tall with a straight trunk and a moderately dense rounded crown. The bark is persistent to the smallest branches, rough, tessellated, scaly, and reddish-brown to grey-brown, and the inner bark exudes a deep red kino on wounding — the feature that gives the tree its common name. Juvenile leaves are opposite, ovate, dull green and shortly petiolate; adult leaves are alternate, lanceolate to broadly lanceolate, 8 to 20 centimetres long and 2 to 4 centimetres wide, glossy green, and discolorous with a paler underside, with conspicuous oil glands. White flowers are produced abundantly in terminal compound corymbose panicles of seven-flowered umbels; opercula are hemispherical. The fruit is a woody urceolate to barrel-shaped capsule 1 to 1.5 centimetres long with deeply enclosed valves.
