The bark is variable ranging from smooth with an irregular, short stocking, to covering most of the trunk, fibrous, dense or loosely held, grey, yellow or red-brown, occasionally very coarse, thick, dark brown to black; shedding from the upper limbs to leave a smooth, white or yellowish surface. Species descriptionLeaves are stalked (with petiole), narrow-lanceolate to lanceolate, to 14 x 1.8 cm, concolorous, dull, light green or slate grey. The intramarginal vein (obvious on most eucalypt leaves as the leaf vein that lies close to the leaf margin in a circumferential way) is markedly distant from the leaf margin in this species. This occurs in both adult and juvenile leaves.[3]The tree is widely distributed on the eastern plains and tablelands from western Victoria, New South Wales to south-central Queensland. E. melliodora is considered to be the best native tree for honey production, the honey produced has a delightful golden colour and an excellent taste. The timber is pale brown, dense and heavy (about 1100 kg/m3), resistant to decay and has been used for sleepers, posts, poles and bridges. It is not known as a furniture timber. EcologyIt is associated with inland grey box, fuzzy box (E. conica), white box (E. albens), pilliga grey box (E. pilligaensis), red ironbark (E. sideroxylon), narrow-leaved ironbark (E. crebra), Blakely's red gum (E. blakelyi), apple species (Angophora), black cypress (Callitris endlicheri), white cypress (Callitris glaucophylla), kurrajong (Brachychiton populneus) and wattles (Acacia) species.[4] GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite web|title=Eucalyptus melliodora|url=https://biodiversity.org.au/nsl/services/api/instance/apni/455668|publisher=APNI|accessdate=1 March 2015}} 2. ^{{cite book |title= Trees of Victoria |author=Costermans, L.F. |year=1981 |series= |publisher= Author |location=Melbourne |isbn=0-9599105-1-4 |pages= |url= }} 3. ^Brooker & Kleinig, Eucalyptus, An illustrated guide to identification, Reed Books, Melbourne, 1996 4. ^{{Cite book| last1= Boland | first1= Douglas J. | last2= Brooker | first2= M.
