Eucalyptus fulgens, commonly known as green scentbark, is a small to medium-sized tree that is endemic to Victoria, Australia.
Description.
"Eucalyptus fulgens" is a tree that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber. It has thick, fibrous dark grey bark on the trunk and larger branches, sometimes smooth bark on the thin branches. Young plants have sessile or shortly petiolate, elliptical to lance-shaped leaves that are long, wide. Adult leaves are lance-shaped to curved, the same glossy green on both sides, long, wide on a petiole long. The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils on an unbranched peduncle long, the individual buds on pedicels long. Mature buds are oval to spindle-shaped, long, wide with a conical operculum. Flowering occurs in autumn and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, hemispherical or cup-shaped capsule long, wide with the valves near rim level or slightly beyond.
Taxonomy and naming.
"Eucalyptus fulgens" was first formally described in 1996 by Kevin James Rule in the journal "Muelleria", from a specimen he collected from Upper Beaconsfield. The specific epithet ("fulgens") is derived from a Latin word alluding to the lustrous appearance of the adult leaves.

This eucalypt grows in heavy soils over sandstone between Healesville, Woori Yallock and Driffield in the Latrobe Valley.
Use in horticulture.
This species is suitable as a shade tree for moist, but not wet areas and is bird and butterfly attracting.
