Eucalyptus alpina seeds grow into the Grampians gum or alpine gum a mallee or small tree endemic to the Grampians (Gariwerd) mountain range of north-western Victoria, Australia, where it grows on rocky sandstone ridges and exposed escarpments in cool-temperate conditions.

The Grampians are a world-class centre of eucalypt diversity and endemism. Family Myrtaceae.
