Corymbia hylandii is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt, rarely to Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, tessellated, grey-brown or red-brown bark on the trunk and larger branches. Young plants and coppice regrowth have elliptical to oblong leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide and arranged in opposite pairs. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, paler on the lower surface, lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petioleШаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged on the ends of branchlets on a thin, branched peduncleШаблон:Cvt long, each branch of the peduncle with seven buds on pedicelsШаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are pear-shaped to oval, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a rounded operculum. Flowering has been observed in April and June and the flowers are creamy white. The fruit is a woody urn-shaped capsuleШаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a short neck and the valves enclosed in the fruit.[1][2][3]
Corymbia hylandii grows in shallow soil on sandstone and granite ridges and is widespread on the northern and eastern Cape York Peninsula from Bathurst Bay to Laura.[1][3]
