Eucalyptus dunnii is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, greyish, corky, fibrous or flaky bark on the lower part of the trunk, smooth white or grey bark above that is shed in short ribbons. Young plants and coppice regrowth have egg-shaped to elliptical or almost round leaves that are Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, arranged in opposite pairs. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, lance-shaped to curved, the same glossy green on both sides, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petioleШаблон:Cvt wide. The flower buds are arranged in groups of seven in leaf axils on a flattened, unbranched peduncleШаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on a pedicelШаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a beaked, conical or rounded operculum. The flowers are white and the fruit is a woody cup-shaped, conical or hemispherical capsuleШаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves reaching past the level of the rim.[1][2][3]
