It has smooth bark, or sometimes with rough bark near the base, linear to lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between seven and eleven, white flowers and urn-shaped, barrel-shaped or cylindrical fruit.

Description
Eucalyptus thozetiana is a tree that typically grows to a height of  and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth creamy white and greyish bark, sometimes with rough, blackish bark near the base and sometimes with small flakes of old bark in patches on the trunk. Young plants and coppice regrowth have stems that are square in cross-section and linear leaves that are  long and  wide. Adult leaves are the same shade of glossy green on both sides, linear to lance-shaped,  long and  wide, tapering to a petiole  long. The flower buds are mostly arranged on the ends of branchlets in groups of seven, nine or eleven on a thin, branching peduncle  long, the individual buds on pedicels  long. Mature buds are pear-shaped to oval,  long and  wide with a rounded, conical or beaked operculum. Flowering occurs from March to November and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody urn-shaped, barrel-shaped or cylindrical capsule  long and  wide with the valves enclosed below the rim.

Taxonomy and naming
In his book Eucalyptographia of 1883, under the heading "Eucalyptus gracilis", Ferdinand von Mueller noted - 

In 1903, Joseph Maiden based a description of Eucalyptus calycogona var. thozetiana on Mueller's excerpt in his book, A Critical Revision of the Genus Eucalyptus.

In 1906, Richard Thomas Baker raised the variety to species status as Eucalyptus thozetiana in Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales. The specific epithet honours Anthelme Thozet.
