==Description== Plants in the genus ''Angophora'' are trees, occasionally shrubs, with rough bark except for ''[[Angophora costata|A. costata]]''. The juvenile leaves differ from adult leaves in being hairy with raised oil [[Gland (botany)|glands]]. Both juvenile and adult leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, the adult leaves usually [[wikt:glabrous|glabrous]] and paler on the lower surface. The flower buds are arranged in groups of three or seven. The flower has four or five small sepals, reduced to small projections on the rim of the floral cup. There are four or five more or less round, keeled, overlapping petals and [[Whorl (botany)|whorls]] of many creamy white [[stamen]]s. Unlike in ''[[Eucalyptus]]'' and ''[[Corymbia]]'', the petals and sepals are not fused to form a cap-like [[Operculum (botany)|operculum]]. The fruit is a papery or thin, slightly woody, hairy capsule with longitudinal ribs.<ref name="nsw">{{cite web |last1=Hill |first1=Ken |title=''Corymbia'' |url=http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&showsyn=&dist=&constat=&lvl=gn&name=Angophora |publisher=Royal Botanic Garden Sydney |access-date=3 March 2020}}</ref><ref name="CANBR">{{cite web |title=More about ''Angophora'' |url=https://www.publish.csiro.au/samples/euclidsample/html/More_about_Angophora.htm |publisher=Euclid: Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research |access-date=3 March 2020}}</ref><ref name="ABRS">{{cite web |last1=Chippendale |first1=George M. |title=''Angophora'' |url=https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa/profile/Angophora |publisher=Australian Biological Resources Study, Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, Canberra |access-date=3 March 2020}}</ref>
