Flower buds are pointed.
Stems are thin, reddish on the upper surface, weeping lightly due to the weight of the foliage.
Bark is beautiful, thick, brown to black with reddish underbark. Often with reddish crystals of resin. No flaking bark here, just persistent hard bark.

There is a cultivar 'Roseum' that is commonly planted but my guess is that most are called that even though they are seed grown and will have a wide variability of flower colors.

Of all the Eucalyptus this one is petty obvious, bright pink flowers generally and the bark is very distinct.

Pretty common actually.
