Popis: Johnson and Hill (1991) originally published this taxon as a subspecies of E. rubida. Its circumscription was based on the larger size of the leaves, both juvenile and adult, the square coppice stems, the larger buds and fruits and the smaller stature of the tree. During a recent investigation into the distribution and abundance of Eucalyptus rubida subsp. canobolensis involving literature, field and herbarium research it became apparent that there are sufficient distinct morphological characters and published information to justify specific rank. Recent research (Chappill 1988; Chappill & Ladiges 1996) indicates that this taxon, although related, is not as closely allied to E. rubida as Johnson and Hill (1991) suggest.
