Eucalyptus thozetiana is a tree that typically grows to a height of 17 m (56 ft) and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth creamy white and greyish bark, sometimes with rough, blackish bark near the base and sometimes with small flakes of old bark in patches on the trunk. Young plants and coppice regrowth have stems that are square in cross-section and linear leaves that are 35–160 mm (1.4–6.3 in) long and 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) wide. Adult leaves are the same shade of glossy green on both sides, linear to lance-shaped, 50–140 mm (2.0–5.5 in) long and 5–15 mm (0.20–0.59 in) wide, tapering to a petiole 2–15 mm (0.079–0.591 in) long. The flower buds are mostly arranged on the ends of branchlets in groups of seven, nine or eleven on a thin, branching peduncle 2–15 mm (0.079–0.591 in) long, the individual buds on pedicels 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) long. Mature buds are pear-shaped to oval, 4–6 mm (0.16–0.24 in) long and 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) wide with a rounded, conical or beaked operculum. Flowering occurs from March to November and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody urn-shaped, barrel-shaped or cylindrical capsule 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) long and 3–45 mm (0.12–1.77 in) wide with the valves enclosed below the rim.

Eucalyptus thozetiana usually grows on sandy soils in woodland and open forest. It is widespread between Emerald, Junda and the Darling Downs in Queensland and near Arltunga in the south of the Northern Territory.
