"Eucalyptus olsenii", Woila gum, is an Australian eucalypt of restricted habiatt.

It is a small tree to 20 m with smooth, white bark, shedding in ribbons.

Adult leaves are stalked, lanceolate or curved and oblique, 8-12 cm long, 1.5-2 cm wide, green, glossy, concolorous. Young leaves and stems are covered with fine hairs.

White flowers appear in spring to early summer.

Distribution is very restricted to mountains north east of Cooma in New South Wales on rough rocky terrain, but gorws weel as an ornamental tree. [Brooker, M.I.H. & Kleinig, D.A. "Field Guide to Eucalyptus", Bloomings, Melbourne 2001]
