Description
Corymbia henryi is a tree that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth, mottled grey, cream-coloured and pink bark. Young plants and coppice regrowth have broadly egg-shaped to lance-shaped leaves that are long and wide. Adult leaves are the same shade of glossy green on both sides, lance-shaped, long and wide, tapering to a petiole long. The flower buds are arranged on the ends of branchlets on a branched peduncle long, each branch of the peduncle with three buds on pedicels long. Mature buds are oval to pear-shaped, long and wide with a conical, beaked operculum. Flowering has been observed in January, April and November and the flowers are white or lemon-yellow. The fruit is a woody barrel-shaped to urn-shaped capsule long and wide with the valves inclosed in the fruit.This species is similar to some forms of C. citriodora but lacks the lemon-scented oils of that species and has larger leaves, flower buds and fruit.
