Adult leaves are the same glossy green on both sides and have more or less parallel veins. The leaves are lance-shaped to curved, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils in groups of seven, nine, eleven or more on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds sessile or on pedicels up to Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to more or less spherical or pear-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a rounded to conical operculum. Flowering occurs between December and January and the flowers are white.

Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus lacrimans was first formally described in 1991 by Laawrie Johnson and Ken Hill from a specimen collected on the Long Plain in 1984 and the description was published in the journal Telopea.[3][4] The specific epithet (lacrimans) is a Latin word meaning 'weeping', in reference to the distinctive weeping branches of this species.[3]
Distribution and habitat
The weeping snow gum grows on more or less flat, treeless plains in subalpine areas near Adaminaby, Kiandra and Rules Point in southern New South Wales.[2][3]
