Minni ritchi is a type of reddish-brown bark that continuously peels in small curly flakes, leaving the tree looking like it has a coat of red curly hair. Brooker and Kleinig (1990) formally described it as a bark type in which "the outer rich, red-brown smooth bark splits both longitudinally and horizontally, the free edges rolling back without completely detaching to expose new green bark beneath".
A number of species of Acacia and Eucalyptus have minni ritchi bark, including:
- Acacia curranii
- Acacia cyperophylla (creekline miniritchie)
- Acacia delibrata
- Acacia gracillima
- Acacia grasbyi (miniritchie)
- Acacia monticola
- Acacia rhodophloia
- Acacia trachycarpa
- Eucalyptus caesia (gungurru, 'Silver Princess')
- Eucalyptus crucis (narrow-leaved silver mallee)
- Eucalyptus minniritchi
- Eucalyptus orbifolia
