"Tree to 45 m tall. Forming a lignotuber. Bark smooth, mottled cream, yellow, blue-grey, pink-grey, to green-grey or brown, sometimes becoming granular with age." (Euclid, 4th Ed.)

"C. maculata is weakly separated from the southern, non-lemon-scented form of C. citriodora which occurs north from Lismore in New South Wales to Maryborough, Chinchilla and the Carnarvon Range in Queensland. C. maculata has a slightly more mottled trunk, often has slightly broader crown leaves and juvenile growth that is scabrid and peltate for fewer nodes." (Euclid, 4th Ed.)

Despite the distribution map on this page indicating otherwise, a taxonomic review has determined that C. maculata does not exist in Queensland.
