Description
Corymbia lenziana is a straggly, sometimes mallee-like tree that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, tessellated, brownish bark on the trunk and branches. Young plants and coppice regrowth have narrow lance-shaped to linear leaves that are long, wide and petiolate. Adult leaves are the same shade of dull green on both sides, 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 seven buds on pedicels long. Mature buds are oval to pear-shaped, long and wide with a rounded or limpet-shaped operculum. Flowering has been observed in March and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, shortened spherical capsule long and wide with the valves deeply enclosed in the fruit.This species is similar to C. eremaea and is distinguished from it mainly on the basis of its habit and habitat.
