Eucalyptus extensa is a eucalypt that is native to Western Australia.[1]
The mallee typically grows to a height of 3 to 8 metres (10 to 26 ft) and has smooth powdery bark throughout that is grey or grey-brown to green or yellow in colour.[2] It blooms in March producing yellow flowers on a[1] simple axillary conflorescence with regular seven-flowered umbellasters.[2]
The range of the plant is on sandplains and undulating areas along the south of Western Australia in the southern Wheatbelt and south western Goldfields-Esperance regions where it grows in red loam, grey sandy loam and sometimes gravelly soils.[1]
