A mallet is a small-tree form of Eucalyptus found in Western Australia. Unlike the mallee, it is single-stemmed and lacks a lignotuber. Species of this form have a relatively long, slender trunk, steeply-angled branches, often a conspicuously dense terminal crown, and sometimes form thickets.

Mallet species include:

• Brown mallet ( Eucalyptus astringens)
• Blue mallet, blue-leaved mallet, Gardner's mallet ( Eucalyptus gardneri)
• Green mallet ( Eucalyptus clivicola)
• Salt River mallet, Sargent's mallet ( Eucalyptus sargentii)
• Silver mallet ( Eucalyptus falcata or Eucalyptus ornata)
• Steedman's mallet ( Eucalyptus steedmanii)
• Swamp mallet ( Eucalyptus spathulata)
• White mallet ( Eucalyptus falcata or Eucalyptus spathulata)
• Fuchsia gum ( Eucalyptus dolichorhyncha)
