EUCALYPTUS, Eucalyptus polybractea
The eucalyptus is an evergreen tree. The bark is smooth and fibrous near the base of the trunk. The leaves are disjoint and linear to narrow-lanceolate. The juvenile leaves are glaucous and the adult leaves are gray-green.
These are undoubtedly the favorite food of koalas, and have been used as traditional medicine by the Aboriginal peoples of Australia. The polybractea variety contains the highest cineole and eucalyptol values among eucalyptus trees and continues to be used as a very popular essential oil throughout the world today.
