Eucalyptus educta is a eucalypt that is native to Western Australia.[1]
The straggling spreading mallee typically grows to a height of 3 to 5 metres (10 to 16 ft) and has rough minni ritchi style bark. It blooms in April producing cream-yellow flowers[1] with a calyptrate calyx that sheds early. The fruit is linear and cuboid in shape.[2]
It has a limited range with two populations in the western Goldfields-Esperance region where it grows in shallow soils among granite rocks.[1]
The species was first described by the botanists Johnson and Hill in 1992 in the journal Telopea from samples collected from The Dromedaries, north of Beacon by Ian Brooker in 1984.[2]
